This chicken coop can move! The chicken coop coloring page shows a henhouse on wheels with a ramp, a nesting box and four busy hens. Grab the free printable, sharpen your pencils and bring this farm scene to life.
Why Older Kids Love This Chicken House
The wooden coop stands on stilts with a gabled roof and walls of fine wire mesh you can peek through. Inside sits a nesting box with a hinged lid, round perches stick out on the left and a big spoked wheel sits on the right. One hen is marching up the ramp, one is pecking grain from the ground and two more strut around. The mesh and feathers make great practice for patient colorers.

Fun Facts About Mobile Chicken Coops
A mobile chicken coop is moved to a different spot in the pasture every so often. That way the hens always find fresh grass, worms and bugs, and the old patch gets time to grow back. At night chickens like to sleep up high on a perch – that’s why the coop stands on stilts and has perches. When it’s time to lay, hens head to a quiet nesting box. A good laying hen lays an egg almost every day, and chickens keep clean by taking dust baths.
What to Do with Your Finished Chicken House
Glue real craft feathers or cotton balls onto the hens and sprinkle a few seeds near their beaks. Or plan together: where would you move the coop next, and what would the hens find there?
