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.
