If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

Got to it before me. Listen to this person op.
Your wife is probably right.
You should explian to us why you think it's inappropriate.
I think of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry has a new girlfriend and he can't remember her name except that it sounds like a body part.
Yep your wife is correct.
Mulva?
DOLORES!!
Well, are you gonna take that joy away from your kids? They got to name a bird and now you want to tell them "nah I as your father decide that this is a dumb name"?
I'm not seeing the issue here. Could you explain why you think it's inappropriate?
Edit: your wife is right
A cloaca is a bunch of orifices in one. Birds and I think reptiles have them.
Man, lemmy really believes in shooting the messenger
Well, since jokes get funnier as you explain them, prepare for a hilarious adventure.
OP states that he thinks Chloe is inappropriate.
Why though. Chloe is a perfectly cromulent name.
The other chicken's names are puns related to Stevie Chicks is a pun on Stevie Nicks, Princess Layer is a pun on Princess Layer.
Of course, this isn't too hard to see.
Still, why does OP think Chloe is inappropriate?
Chloe is similar sounding to a chicken's (cloaca)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca]. A comedian might call it a pussy-dick-butt.
Do you see how hilarious it is now that I've explained the joke. Gafaw gafaw.
Only needs a couple thousand words more to be a feathery chicken story.
Damn, that is funny.
How did I miss "Princess Layer", when I already named a rooster (german: "Hahn") "Hahn Solo"? This is an outrage!
Your wife is right
Your wife is right. That's a really weird thing to get hung up on. So much so that most people will need an explanation to even make the connection. Are you also the type of guy that can't eat hotdogs or bananas because they "look too phallic?" No one is making this sexual but you.
Edit: I thought this was in NoStupidQuestions not ScienceMemes. I guess it's science-y because.. cloaca? 🤷♂️
Growing up we had two roosters called Rufus and Roscoe. Human names for chickens is funny and I'm sorry but I have to agree with your wife too
Chloe does the tables in the french quarter
Remind your wife that she married you for (or despite) your sense of humour
Chloe Deggshell. Your manic pixie dream chicken. Bam solved!
Human names are great for chickens, we used to have Lavinia, Hypollectrona, Stella and Pigwidgeon.
