Abandoned Rooster Randomly Shows Up At Auto Shop And Decides He “Works” Here Now
Who said that a rooster can’t work at an auto shop? No one, probably. Despite that, this one named Earl has once and for all proved to the world that the good old saying “the sky’s the limit” is relevant even in the world of roosters. And how did he do that? By becoming a worker at an auto shop. Alright, alright, he’s not ACTUALLY working there. But it can sure seem like it sometimes.
Feeling confused? Let us explain.

This cutie that you can see in the photos below randomly showed up at this auto shop in North Carolina one day and decided to stay there

It all happened in the summer of 2018. This abandoned rooster showed up and it seemed like he wasn’t planning on leaving any time soon. The employees of the garage fed him and thought that he was gonna move to another spot soon, since they were planning on taking some days off.
But when they came back, the rooster was still there

Turns out, Earl sleeps in a nearby tree at night, though if the weather is bad, he stays inside the garage.
Every morning, Earl greets his fellow employees by running to them. “He comes running when the first guy comes in to open up for the day. He gets his cup of scratch, then wanders the shop looking for any bugs that may be around. He gets up under all the toolboxes and work benches looking for spiders and anything else he can find,” Joe Gallo, co-owner of R and R Garage, told The Dodo.
They named him Earl

Throughout the workday, Earl likes to follow his colleagues around the garage and casually hang out with them.
“He will come up in the shop and usually lay down and sleep under the car you’re working on or in a corner. He doesn’t care about loud noises or people walking by. He will even sleep in front of the office door and we’ve tripped over him a few times,” Joe Gallo told The Dodo.
At this point, Earl is kind of a local celebrity

“We can’t believe the attention Earl is getting… it’s the town gossip now. We do have customers that bring other friends or family to see Earl when they come pick up their vehicles,” the co-owner of the garage told The Dodo.

Here’s what people are saying about Earl
And some wanted to point out that Gallo (which is the last name of the co-owner of the garage) means “rooster” in Spanish

Share on Facebookchickens are quite intelligent n love to be petted or hugged. our family had a few once.
So glad he is being cared for. They really are smart and recognize each person. Thank you for caring for him and giving him a home.
This is one awesome rooster. I wouldn't mind working with him. At least he shows up.
I couldn't leave the lil thing at the garage. He needs a home as he is obviously bonded to humans.
Once again people are so amused that animals have feelings, are intelligent sentient beings, even small ones are big on personalities..... all animals, those on your dinner plates had. ---- "The most important thing to me is that I'm helping animals and the environment." - Sadie Sink (on being vegan) ---- "I know you think you're just one person and it won't change anything if you stop eating meat. But that's ignorant and stupid. If you have half a brain, you should know 'one person' adds up. Be smart. - Billie Eilish
Wow, that shop (and the surrounding area) must have been FULL of creepy-crawlies to attract Earl like that and make him stay. He's awesome!
