How to draw a chicken

A big round body, a comb on top, and three feathers fanning out behind. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your chicken to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a chicken

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

One big egg shape in the middle of your paper, a little wider than it is tall. Wobbly is fine.

2

Add the head

A small circle up and to the left, then two curved lines down to the body for the neck.

3

Give it a face

One dot eye, a pointed beak facing left, and a soft flap under the beak called a wattle.

4

A wing and two legs

One leaf shape on the side for the folded wing, then two thin legs with three toes on each foot.

5

Fan out the tail

Three long feathers sweeping up and back. Start each one on the body and let it curve out, like a fan.

6

Finishing touches

One soft line inside the wing, then a comb with three bumps on top of the head. Now this chicken is yours.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper chicken into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail flick below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
