Ellen DeGeneres Says 'Friends' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Adopted One of Her Chickens

One of Ellen DeGeneres’ chickens came home to roost — with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

Bullied by her coop-mates after suffering a fibula injury, Sinkie, one of DeGeneres’ many feathery friends, had to be re-homed.

Thankfully, the former TV host's pals Harry and Meghan agreed to take her in, DeGeneres revealed in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“Sinkie’s leg is fixed but our chickens were still picking on her so she had to be re-homed,” the former Ellen DeGeneres Show host, 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.”

Sinkie will be the latest bird to join the residents of “Archie's Chick Inn,” the name of the coop owned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their elder child, 4-year-old Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39 — who also share daughter Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor — gave a glimpse of the feathery residents of their California home during a 2021 interview with Oprah 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.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Harry revealed that he loved living in California, particularly having “outdoor space where I can go for walks with Archie and we go for walks as a family and with the dogs.”

"The highlight for me is sticking him on the back of the bicycle in his little baby seat and taking him on bike rides is something which I never was able to do when I was young,” he added.

A few months after Lilibet’s June 2021 birth, Meghan made a surprise appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show — which ended in May 2022 — to provide another update, this time about the latest addition to her family with “Auntie Ellen.”

In the episode, DeGeneres revealed that "Lili's now teething,” prompting Meghan to put her hands up by her mouth and say: "Anything to relieve that."

"Tequila, anything," the talk show host said, and Meghan quipped back, "That's Auntie Ellen for you.”

Joked the host: "That's why I don't have kids.”
