I had fully intended to take good pictures of the new resident of my household, but Cawti nosebumping and marking the iron chicken was far too cute to ignore no matter HOW bad the lighting was.
No, I am not entirely certain why the chicken was in the bedroom. Honest.
Miss Chicken needs a name. I’ve already gotten some excellent suggestions, but am soliciting more. If you had a frilly Rhode Island Rust, what would you call her?

Seems like a large comb for a female. If it were male I would call him Hue.

I’m still cheering for Maria Goeppert Mayer, or Emllie du Chatalet but here’s a whole LIST of suggestions! :D
Hypatia is also good.
I used to have a list somewhere, but I can’t find it on this computer, but it had non-Western female scientists and mathematicians.
Existing Chicken names:
Beyonce
Ricky Martin
Mark Anthony
Ada Lovelace
Emily Warren Robeling
and… I think, Rosalind Franklin

Not who I was thinking of, but: Chien-Shiung Wu

Ah, here’s the list I was considering at one point:
Florence Nightingale
Jane Goodall
Rosalind Franklin
Marie Curie
Shirley Ann Jackson
Wang Zhenyi
Barbara McClintock
Lise Meitner
Emilie du Chatelet
Emily Warren Roebling
