Oh what a beautiful morning !!!!!

 
oh what a beautiful day!
...as the song goes....
 
woke this morning again to sounds from our barnyard.
I love to hear my chickens & roosters ~ so peaceful to me!
 
speaking of roosters,
do you remember this little guy???
 
 
little Toby sleeping in my hand...

remember I rescued him from being half-hatched & frozen to death last October?
 
 
Toby setting in a basket at a Stacy Nash class ~
 
 remember too that I brought him in the farmhouse
....my sweet little Suzy mothered him for a bit??
are you my mudder?
well, here he is today ~
bright eyed & rooster-tailed!!
hello big-boy!
 he has grown into a strapping young rooster-man...
his irridescent colors are amazing!
 
 
hi mom!
 here he is in his coop with his 'real' mother
(ssshhhh, don't tell him) ~
she's the one in the far-back with the brown head black body.
...along with his siblings, 2 sisters and one brother!
 
 
biggest one in the bunch ~ whoda thunk?

and here is our camera-shy-guy...
"Billy"
(short for Williamsburg Blue)
 
 
oh you handsome boy!

yes, we see you too!
Billy doesn't stand still for too long, and it is super hard to get a picture of his tail
since he's always moving and swishing-it around...
 
 
look at those eyes ~ and that crown!!
 his tail IS beautiful ~ and at almost 6 feet long it should be...
I will seriously try to sneek up on him and get some pictures of it for you...
in the meantime, this snap below shows more of his colors ~
 
 
love the black & white feathers he has, and the brown ones, and the striped ones, and.....

and speaking of COLORS ~
looky here :)
