Meet Othello



Chickens are so cool. In Seattle, its become somewhat of a fad to keep them in your backyard. Of course they lay wonderful fresh eggs, but are also just plain fun to watch. I'd guess thousands probably live in the city limits in coups ranging from high-end custom deluxe, to simple old fashioned boxes that have been hiding in backyards for years.


This lucky guy has been living at the west Seattle horse barn for 10 years! He is the barn pet and mascot. Everyone (almost) loves him, and he gets lots attention from the lady boarders. He lives alone, but spends his days checking out the riding arena mirrors for the "other" roosters, patrolling the parking lot and eating lots of delicious and unusual things you find on the ground at a horse barn. If you pet his back and talk to him, he also does an adorable little rooster dance.
