* StealthPun: The Hens in Chauntecleer's Coop all seem to have been [[MeaningfulName named after precious stones.]] Chauntecleer recites the names of 8 of them as being "Beryl. Chalcedony. Chrysolite. Sardonix. Topaz. Jasper. Jacinth." and "Emerald." In the Bible, Revelation 21:19-20 reveals that the twelve sacred gemstones forming the layers of the wall around the Heavenly City are Jasper, Sapphire, Chalcedony, Emerald, Sardonyx, Sardius, Chrysolite, Beryl, Topaz, Chrysoprasus, Jacinth, and Amethyst. This is no mere coincidence, as Wangerin, being a pastor as well as a writer of Christian books, would have been very much aware of this. And here's where the sneaky pun comes in: The Hens were named after these layers because they themselves are layers (of eggs)!
