Sinky

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have a chicken named Sinky. DeGeneres said Steve Carell gave the chicken its name after seeing the photos of it sitting in a sink. DeGeneres posted videos of Sinky to Instagram in late December 2023. DeGeneres shared that Sinky was recuperating in the sink as she was injured. And that Sinky had a broken fibula and the sink was no longer best for her recovery. So Sinky ended up needing four weeks to recover in a special chicken clinic.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi adopted two rescue cats named Jinx and Monkey in March 2023. Here they’re seen watching the 2023 Oscars with Ellen.
