It's both. In UnrealScript, you can have a class and an instance with
the same name. You see things like that in Epic's code all the time:

simulated function DrawOverlays(Canvas Canvas);

for instance.

I've tried that too, but that would cause some nasty loops with other
things calling hasChicken() from their FindInventoryType() function.

If you take a look at the FindInventoryType() function of a pawn, you'll
see that it's just the loop with I=I.Inventory as the iterator. It's the
Unreal way of handling an Inventory chain.

The problem with the chicken is probably that the inventory chain is
looping somewhere. Perhaps I should keep a list of 'already passed'
actors, and detect a loop myself. Perhaps I can find out what's going
wrong that way. On the other hand, simply logging every object in the
loop will give me that insight as well.
