Ready, set, cluck! This chicken ladder coloring page shows three hens racing up into their coop. Download the free printable and color the silly race to the chicken coop.
Why Kids Love This Ladder Race
A slanted wooden ladder leads from the grass up to a little coop with plank walls, a window and three hearts. The first chicken has almost reached the door, while the other two flap wildly behind with wings spread wide. Every rung is its own little space to color. There’s so much movement that kids can practically hear the clucking.

Why Chickens Like to Go Up High
Lots of chicken coops are raised or have a little chicken ladder. That suits chickens just fine: at night they love to sleep up high on a roost. In the evening, they usually head into the coop all on their own. Every flock has a pecking order, and the top hens often grab the best spots first. In the morning, it’s back outside to scratch and peck.
What to Do with Your Finished Ladder Race
Give each chicken a race number and let everyone guess the winner. Add a drinking straw as the ladder and cotton balls for feathers to turn it into a fun collage.
