Rooster Shows Up At Mechanic Shop One Day And Decides He Works There Now

May 13, 2019

It was an ordinary day in the summer at R and R Garage in North Carolina. Nobody suspected that it would be the day that an extraordinary addition to the team would appear. That day, a rooster just walked into the garage. He did not seem to have an owner, so the employees working there figured that he was abandoned. They quickly gave him some leftovers from the fridge.

That weekend had an extra few days off. They figured out that he would be gone by the time they returned to work. They were wrong. The rooster was there when they returned, waiting for them. They gave the rooster the name Earl, and he has been with the team ever since then.

During the night, the nearby tree is the rooster’s bed. When the weather is not so great, people from the garage make sure that he has a place to stay inside.

Earl has his own routine in the shop that people have fallen in love with. He greets his fellow ‘colleagues’ every day as they come to work.

His first job is to run to the first employee that comes to the garage. He gets his due cup of scratch. He then walks around the garage looking for spiders and bugs that may be hiding under the workbenches and boxes of tools. He would be glad to find anything to eat.

After this, Earl would follow the employees and walk around with them. If he were not a rooster, he would definitely be just a regular employee working there with the way that he acts.

At this point, employees of the garage feel that he is part of their crew.

When a car is fixed, he would lay under it or somewhere close by. He does not get scared of loud noises or people passing by. He would even sleep in front of the office door, and occasionally, someone will trip over him. Little does the rooster know that sometimes he gets in the way of people working.

However, he has become a mascot of the garage, so employees try to do their job around him.

The rooster has become the star of the town. People are giving him so much attention that the garage is thinking of changing its logo to have a rooster on it as an appreciation of having Earl as part of their team. Some people even bring their whole family to look at the rooster as they are picking up their car. "We can't believe the attention Earl is getting," the crew notes.

Where do you think Earl came from, and why did he choose this garage as his home? Pass this quirky story along to any animal lover you know.
