A brown leghorn rooster
Per the Chinese zodiac, this is the year of the rooster. It’s also the first day of the lunar year, an observance celebrated in China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Tibet and Vietnam. In the West, we often simplify the name of this day as Chinese New Year. So to remind you to celebrate the start of a new year—yes, you get two tries if you embrace both the lunar and the solar calendars—we bring you this photo of a brown leghorn, one of the best-dressed roosters around. How will you celebrate the Chinese New Year today?
