Roosters are known for crowing at sunrise, though they also crow at other times of day. Their colors can be striking: red, gold, green-black and orange feathers that shine in the sun. Talk about how a rooster helps watch over the hens. A rooster on a weather vane is also a classic farm sight.
For shiny tail feathers, color each feather in two or three colors, like dark green, blue and black, and leave a thin white line down the middle as a highlight.
