Rooster Pecking Seeds From the Ground

A rooster bends forward with its head down, pecking at a small scattering of seeds on the ground. Its big tail feathers sweep up and back in jagged, flame-like shapes, and the wing is outlined with several pointed feather edges. The comb on top of its head is drawn as rounded scallops, with a wattle hanging under the open beak. You can see one small round eye, two thin legs, and spread toes with claws. Six little seeds sit near the beak. The large open areas make this printable page easy for younger kids to color. Try giving the tail feathers a different bright color on each section, then color the seeds a golden tan so they stand out against the white background. It also works well for a short talk about what chickens eat.
