IC 2944 or The Running Chicken Nebula (um... really?) or Krumm from Aahh!! Real Monsters, a somewhat creepy looking cartoon my sons used to watch. 
Ok so this Krumm looks like it has three eyes but it looks more like Krumm than any chicken I have seen running around.

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, the Lambda Centauri Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus. 
It features Bok globules  which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944.

It's been a while since I chased down the fleeing poultry for an imaging session so thought it was time to revisit the coop. 
However, from now on it will always look like Krumm to me.
