No eggs in this carton – just six fluffy chicks! This egg carton chicks coloring page is super sweet and made for little hands. Download the free printable and give every chick its own color.
Why Kids Love These Carton Chicks
Six round chicks sit in two neat rows inside the open carton, and each one has its own face. Two are squeezing their eyes shut with a happy grin, while the others peek out with big round eyes. The chicks are big, chubby shapes, and the lid with its little tab is nice and wide. Even two-year-olds can make a great picture with just a few crayons.

Fun Facts About Chicks
Egg cartons usually hold eggs – in real life, chicks hatch under a warm mother hen. After about 21 days, they peck their way out of the shell. They even cheep inside the egg, and the hen answers back. Newly hatched chicks are covered in soft down instead of real feathers. A hen often looks after 6 to 12 chicks at once.
What to Do with Your Finished Chicks
Glue the colored picture onto the lid of a real empty egg carton for a sweet spring decoration. Or count the chicks together and give each one a name.
