Drawing Chickens In Bathing Suits

When our chickens went through their molting period they looked so pitiful. Pompy’s tail all but disappeared except for one long curved feather. Mater, our Plymouth Rock hen, had a bare spot on her back where Pompy had pulled some feathers out. When it rained the looked even worse.

Watching them walk around in their semi-featherless state made me wonder what they would look like in clothing. I began to picture them in all sorts of attire and accessories.

We have a small plastic water filled child’s pool that the chickens like to stand in. The water is usually about 3″ deep. They look so comical standing in the water with water hyacinths surrounding them. The site of them standing in the water had me wondering what they would look like at the beach?

Draw the chickens according to previous instructions and then add bathing suits, umbrellas and hats.
