Cluck, cluck – it’s snack time! This chicken coloring page shows a happy farmer tossing grain to her flock. Grab the free printable and color the farmer, the rooster and the hens.
Why Toddlers Love This Picture
The farmer holds a bucket and a scoop, and the grain sprinkles out like tiny dots. A proud rooster with a big fluffy tail stands on the left, while four hens peck busily all around her. In the back you can spot a wooden barn, a fence with a gate, a haystack and a tree. The figures are drawn nice and big, so even little ones can color them easily.

All About Chickens
Chickens love grain, but they also eat greens, worms and bugs. They scratch the ground with their feet and then peck super fast. The rooster crows “cock-a-doodle-doo,” and the hens go “cluck.” A good laying hen lays an egg almost every day. And to keep clean, chickens take a bath – not in water, but in dust!
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
Glue real grains, lentils or tiny paper bits onto the scattered dots so kids can feel the chicken feed. Then count together how many chickens get a snack.
