The Chinese Year of the Rooster 2017

2017 is the year of the Rooster, starting from January 28th, and ending on February 15th, 2018.

The Rooster is tenth in the Chinese Zodiac. Each year is related to an animal sign according to a 12-year cycle. Years of the Rooster include 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, and 2029.
