These coloring pages also provide an opportunity for children to learn about the role of hens in the poultry industry, as well as the various products that come from them such as eggs and meat. So the next time your child expresses an interest in chickens, print out a Hen coloring page for them to enjoy! Just make sure to have plenty of crayons or markers on hand. Happy coloring!
Did you know that the color of a hen’s feathers can actually be predictive of its egg color?
Hens with white feathers tend to lay white eggs, while hens with brown feathers lay brown eggs. This is because the pigment present in a hen’s feathers will also be present in the shells of its eggs. In addition, a hen’s earlobes can indicate its egg color as well – those with white earlobes will lay white eggs, and those with red earlobes will lay brown eggs. So next time you enjoy some freshly laid eggs for breakfast, take a peek at the hen responsible – her feather color may give you a hint of what to expect on your plate!
