The Energetic Scratching Hen

Fun Fact

Hens are incredibly good at finding food! They use their strong legs and sharp eyesight to dig up delicious seeds, insects, and even small worms hidden in the soil.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feathered Friend - Use a variety of warm browns, russets, and hints of cream or gray to give the hen's ruffled feathers realistic texture and depth.
2. 2🖍️ Dusty Details - Lightly shade the disturbed earth and the fine dust motes with soft yellows, light oranges, and pale browns to create a sense of movement and activity.
3. 3✨ Soil Secrets - Color the soil beneath her feet with earthy browns, muted greens, and even tiny flecks of darker color to suggest hidden seeds or pebbles.
4. 4🌈 Frame Harmony - If your page includes a patterned frame, choose colors that complement the hen, perhaps using natural tones or a repeating motif to enhance the overall scene.
