Cock-a-doodle-doo – rise and shine! This rooster coloring page shows a proud rooster waking up the whole farm from the top of the fence. Print this free page and bring the morning to life.
Why Kids Love This Rooster
The rooster has his eyes squeezed shut and his beak wide open – you can almost hear him. His tail feathers are big and swoopy, perfect for coloring in stripes. Down below, two hens are busy pecking in the grass. A barn with hay in the loft, a silo and puffy clouds complete the scene.

Why Do Roosters Crow?
A rooster is a male chicken. His loud cock-a-doodle-doo tells other roosters, “This is my yard!” He often crows early in the morning, but he’ll crow during the day too. He keeps an eye on his hens and warns them about danger. At night, the whole flock sleeps up high on a roost.
What to Do with Your Finished Rooster
Play alarm clock: whoever holds up the picture shouts “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” and everyone jumps up. Or cut strips of colored paper and glue them on as real tail feathers.
