Smiling Cartoon Hen Standing Coloring Page

One smiling hen stands alone on this sheet with nothing else competing for the page. The body is a single large rounded shape, the wing is one open curve inside it, and the comb on top of her head is three soft points rather than the tall spiked crown a rooster wears. That difference is the whole reason to print this sheet next to the rooster one, because a child can see it in a second and never forgets it afterwards. Hens are the birds that lay, and a hen will often sing a short repeated call right after she lays an egg, which farmers call the egg song. The outlines are the thickest in the set, so this page holds up well under fat crayons and washable markers. Ask a younger child to fill the body one colour and the wing another before they touch anything else, and the sheet will look finished even if they lose interest halfway through the legs.
