Say hello to a cheerful farm hen and her three little chicks! In this free coloring page for kids, children can tap to fill colours on screen, use the brush for feathers and grass, or print the picture and colour it with crayons on paper.

The shapes are big and simple, so even little hands can stay inside the lines. While colouring, children can count the chicks, talk about farm sounds, and choose warm browns, soft yellows and bright greens. It is a calm, screen-friendly activity for preschool and early primary learners at home or in class.

How to play

Look at the picture and count the chicks with your child: one, two, three.
Pick a colour from the crayon box, then tap a part of the picture to fill it, or use the brush for small details.
Colour the hen, the chicks, the grass and the sun in your own way.
Print the page and colour it again with crayons or pencils for extra practice.

Colouring is gentle, enjoyable practice for skills your child will use every day. Filling the hen and chicks builds hand control, finger strength and the careful eye-hand coordination needed later for neat writing. Choosing and naming colours grows vocabulary, while counting the three chicks gives early number sense a friendly, playful start. Talking about farm animals, their babies and the food they give us adds simple science and general knowledge. Best of all, there is no right or wrong answer here, so children build confidence, patience and focus as they finish a picture they are proud to show you.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this hen and chicks coloring page best for?

It suits children aged about 3 to 6 years. The outlines are large and simple, so preschoolers can tap-fill or colour with crayons easily. Older children can add their own background details like a barn, fence or flowers.

Can I print this coloring page for free?

Yes. The page is free to print at home or in school. Use plain A4 paper for crayons and colour pencils. Thicker paper works better if your child likes to use sketch pens or watercolours.

What colours should a hen and chicks be?

Hens can be brown, white, black or reddish, and baby chicks are usually soft yellow. Your child is free to choose any colours though, as imaginative colouring is just as valuable as realistic colouring.

How does colouring help my child learn?

Colouring strengthens the small hand muscles used for writing, improves concentration and teaches children to work within boundaries. Talking about the picture also builds vocabulary, counting skills and knowledge about farm animals and where our food comes from.
