Farmyard Chicken Pair: Rooster and Hen by the Barn

Standing next to a smaller hen is a big rooster with a tall comb, a full fan of curved tail feathers and a smiling open beak. She tilts her head toward him, and her wing feathers sit in neat scalloped rows. Behind them is a wooden barn with a big X-braced door and a square gable window, plus a wheelbarrow beside a rectangular hay bale. A wooden rail fence runs across the back with leafy trees and bushes behind it, and grass tufts, a few small stones and daisy-like flowers fill the foreground. The feathers offer lots of small sections, and the large shapes still work for younger kids. Rich reddish-brown fits the rooster's tail, warm golden tan the hen, with a bright red comb and yellow beaks and legs. Print it at home for a classroom project or weekend craft.
