Ellen DeGeneres recently provided an update on her chicken, affectionately named Sinky, who unfortunately suffered a broken fibula. The talk show host shared the news through a series of updates on her Instagram account, revealing the progress and care taken for her beloved injured chicken.<\/p>\n
In a video clip, Ellen conveyed the veterinarian\u2019s diagnosis, confirming that Sinky had indeed broken her fibula and would require about four weeks to recuperate in a specialized facility. With her trademark humor, Ellen quipped, \u201cYou got to be \u2018fibbin\u2019 me.\u201d However, realizing the seriousness of the situation, she swiftly corrected herself, acknowledging that it wasn\u2019t something to make light of, emphasizing, \u201cSo yeah, my chicken has a broken fibula.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acknowledging the need for Sinky to recover outside of her typical sink habitat, Ellen admitted that the sink might not be the ideal place for her recuperation, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s not the best place for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before the update about Sinky\u2019s broken fibula, Ellen shared a picture on Thursday ahead of the vet appointment, humorously attributing the name \u201cSinky\u201d to actor Steve Carell. She playfully mentioned that it might be a silly name but credited Carell for giving it to their chicken.<\/p>\n
Ellen also provided updates on Sinky\u2019s condition, showcasing the care packages and arrangements made for her recovery. She showed the food, water, and nesting box set up for the chicken and explained the precautions taken to ensure a safe and comfortable environment, such as covering surfaces with towels to prevent slipping.<\/p>\n
Following the surgery on Friday, Ellen mentioned her cat, Monkey, expressing concern and curiosity about Sinky\u2019s well-being. She shared Monkey\u2019s attentiveness towards Sinky, indicating the care and concern among their animal companions. Ellen assured her followers that despite the broken fibula, Sinky was healing and would ultimately be alright, expressing puzzlement at how the injury occurred but remaining optimistic about Sinky\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
