Chicken Coloring Pages
Make free printable chicken coloring pages from 13 chicken pictures we drew ourselves: a hen standing in the grass, a rooster crowing on a fence, a mother hen and her chicks, a chicken coop with a ramp, a hen pecking corn, a fluffy silkie hen, a hen sitting in a nest box, half a dozen eggs in a carton, a hen flapping its wings, two hens at the feeder, a rooster weather vane, a hen on a hay bale and a big simple hen for little ones. Every chicken is our own simple drawing seen from the side, with no film, book, game or cartoon characters, no mascots and no farm, food or restaurant names or logos, so the pages suit homes, classrooms and libraries. Print one big chicken on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a farm scene with a rooster, a hen, two chicks, a fence and the coop, a fold-in-half card, or a chicken mandala with small hens round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank hens to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain hen outlines with no eye, wing or feathers, so children can design their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same chicken for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each blank outline is a plain hen (head, beak, comb, wattle, body, tail, legs and feet) with no eye, wing or feathers (10 shapes), so the design is up to you.
Simple to detailed lines

Chicken facts to read while you color
- A chicken egg takes about 21 days to hatch.
- In an incubator, most eggs need a temperature close to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and never above 102.
- Shining a light through an egg is called candling: by day 7 you can see veins, and by day 14 a chick can usually be seen.
- Eggs are turned several times a day, but turning stops three days before they are due to hatch.
- You hear peeping as the chicks begin to hatch.
- A fertile egg has a small ringed spot on the yolk.

Printing tips

Which chicken pictures are there?
13: hen standing in the grass, rooster crowing on a fence, mother hen and her chicks, chicken coop with a ramp, hen pecking corn, fluffy silkie hen, hen sitting in a nest box, half-dozen eggs in a carton, hen flapping its wings, two hens at the feeder, rooster weather vane, hen on a hay bale, big simple hen.

Are there cartoon chickens or characters?
No. There are no film, book, game or cartoon chickens, no mascots and no farm, food or restaurant names or logos. Each hen has one eye, a beak, a comb and a wattle, drawn simply from the side.
How are these different from the Easter coloring pages?
They are new drawings of hens, roosters and chickens on the farm. None repeats the chick, hatching chick, egg basket or nest pictures on our Easter pages, or any farm or bird picture, and no outline is copied from those drawings.
How long does a chicken egg take to hatch?
About 21 days. Utah State University Extension lists 21 days for chicken eggs in an incubator kept close to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can children design their own hen?
Yes. Choose Blank hens to decorate and pick 1, 2, 4 or 6 per page. Each is a plain hen outline (head, beak, comb, wattle, body, tail, legs and feet) with no eye, wing or feathers. With no title, one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter; six fill 77 mm squares.
Which chicken pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The half-dozen eggs in a carton and the fluffy silkie hen have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there chicken coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Chicken mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
