The chicken fashion that unites Meghan Markle with Rosa López and Paz Padilla

The “bird fever” of celebrities consists of having chickens as pets, a fashion followed by Meghan Markle, Rosa López, Paz Padilla, Jennifer Aniston or Mercedes Dear.

The newspaper already said it The Times: Not since the Second World War has there been such an obsession with chicken keeping as there is today. Four years ago, the COVID pandemic prompted many people with a small piece of land to set up a small farm at home to defy supply problems, and today more than five million people keep chickens as pets in the UK, while in the US the number exceeds twelve million.

A question of eggs

As expected, several famous people, including Spaniards, have joined this trend. Inspired by the search for an “eco” diet and self-production, they have ended up having chickens at home living with them like other pets. In fact, there are many celebrities They even share on their social networks their favorite breeds, how they build their chicken coops, how they feed their chickens, and how they collect the eggs they lay.

Jennifer Aniston is one of them, and in her case it was long before the pandemic when she decided to create her own farm at home. It was in 2012, when she decided to have chickens when she bought a Justin Theroux a new house in Bel Air that had a chicken coop in its garden. They say that was the reason she fell in love with the house, and she has often said that having them as pets, taking care of them and collecting the eggs they lay is very relaxing for her.

Also Kylie Jenner has a chicken coop in his $36 million Los Angeles mansion, something he often brags about on his Instagram profile. So do Hillary Duff, Jennifer Garner, Tori Spelling o Julia Roberts, who said in an interview in 2014: “We live in a world where fresh produce and organic food are a financial luxury, so if we have that luxury, I’ll take advantage of it for my family.”

The prince must have thought the same. Harry y Meghan Markle. After moving to the United States, they decided that one way to provide a healthy life for their children was to raise chickens on their property. So, they decided to rescue chickens that came from factory farms to pamper them in their own home, where they are almost like another pet for their children.

In Spain, more eggs

In Spain, more and more celebrities are taking advantage of their land to have a small farm and their own fresh eggs. The presenter of “Supervivientes” and now also of “Gran Hermano” Laura Madrueño He lives in the mountains of Madrid and has all kinds of pets, ranging from dogs to pheasants and chickens.

In the case of Paz Padilla, She has often managed to make videos of herself raising her twelve chickens go viral. What’s more, during the pandemic we witnessed how the presenter and actress broke the rules of confinement to take two of them to the vet because they were sick. Another chicken lover is Dear Mercedes, some very curious pets that not only live in the chicken coop that she has had built in her country house – and that her niece has sometimes shown on Tik Tok), but also the communicator loves these animals so much that she even has ceramic chickens in the middle of the hallway or in the form of a magnet as an ornament on her refrigerator. Of course, the famous chef Carlos Arguiñano She also raises her own chickens, a hobby she also shares. Juanjo Ballestawho has all kinds of pets at home, ranging from goats to sheep, hedgehogs and, of course, chickens.

The funny thing is that there are celebrities who don’t need a piece of land or a garden to have birds at home. This is the case of Rosa Lopez. The singer made a curious confession a few days ago when she said that her flat in Madrid is overcrowded, as right now she lives there not only with her boyfriend Iñaki, but also with five dogs, a pigeon and two chickens. However, as soon as the latter grow up, she plans to take them to Granada and give them to a relative who has a piece of land in the countryside.
