One ofEllen DeGeneres’ chickens came home to roost — withPrince HarryandMeghan Markle!
“Sinkie’s leg is fixed but our chickens were still picking on her so she had to be re-homed,” the formerEllen DeGeneres Showhost, 65, wrote alongside a photo of the black-and-white bird.
“Luckily our friends Harry and Meghan’s coop had room for one more,” she said, adding, “Not sure yet what her royal title will be.”
Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39 — who also share daughterLilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor— gave a glimpse of the feathery residents of their California home during a 2021 interview withOprah Winfrey.
During their chat with Winfrey, 69, viewers did not see the couple’s nine-bedroom mansion, but they did get to see the “Chick Inn” coop on their Montecito property, which is filled with rescued hens from a factory farm as part of their “down to basics” life.
“Hi, girls!” Meghan said to the fowls as she opened the door to the coop, adding, “I just love rescuing.”
