Materials Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions
Drawing the Mama Chicken
- Body: Use your black crayon to draw a big oval on the right side of your paper. This is the mama chicken’s body.
- Tail: From the right side of the oval, draw a straight line up, then a slanted line down for the tail.
- Head: On the left side of the oval, draw a shape like an upside-down “U” for the head.
- Beak: Draw a sideways “V” in front of the head for the beak.
- Comb: On top of the head, draw three little bumps for the comb.
Drawing the Baby Chicken
- Body and Head: Next to the mama chicken, draw a smaller oval for the baby chicken’s head and body.
- Beak: Add a tiny sideways “V” for the baby chicken’s beak.
- Egg: Draw another oval between the mama and baby chicken for an egg. Add a zigzag line on top to show it’s hatching.
Coloring Your Chickens
- Baby Chicken: Color the baby chicken yellow.
- Mama Chicken: Color the mama chicken brown, or leave it white if you like.
- Wattle: Draw a little curve under the beak for the wattle with your black crayon.
- Comb and Wattle: Use your red crayon to color the comb and wattle.
- Eyes: Draw a circle for the mama chicken’s eye and color it in. Do the same for the baby chicken.
- Wing: Add a little “U” shape on the mama chicken for the wing.
- Beak: Use your orange crayon to color both beaks.
Adding Legs
- Mama Chicken’s Legs: Draw two lines down for the legs. Add little feet by drawing two lines forward and one back.
- Baby Chicken’s Legs: For the baby chicken, draw two small legs with two toes forward and one back.
