Homeless Rooster Keeps Returning At Auto Shop And Finally Becomes A Full-Time “Employee”

One summer day in North Carolina, a rooster wandered in an auto shop. The workers at the shop asked around for the owner of the rooster, but they weren’t able to track where he came from. They fed him leftovers and thought he’d just leave on his own.

When the employees came back to work after a long weekend, the rooster was still there, just like he was waiting for them to come back. Eventually, the guys accepted him as their own and named him Earl. He’s been living at the shop ever since, and became everyone’s favorite co-worker, becoming a celebrity among the customers as well.

Earl’s day starts just like that. He gets some food from an employeer and then goes around the garage looking for bugs and spiders, pecking and looking under the benches and tool boxes. Earl also likes to greet the employees when they arrive at the auto shop.

Throughout the day, he would wander around getting chased after by stray dogs and sometimes catching lizards. He would follow the boys around and sit near the cars they are working on, just like he was a regular employee, but sometimes he just takes a nap underneath a car. Earl has zero idea that he is getting in the way of their work, but the guys really try their best to be careful and work their way around him.

North Carolina, also because of Earl, and now they’re thinking about making him the subject of their new logo and uniform shirt. Scroll down and check out photos of Earl the rooster and his typical day at work.
