Too much of a good thing? Kellie Pickler has never met an animal she didn’t love or want to adopt. And while her husband, Kyle Jacobs, appreciates her fondness for all things furry — or in some cases, scaly or feathery — more isn’t necessarily merrier.
As seen in this exclusive clip from the couple’s upcoming CMT reality show, I Love Kellie Pickler, Jacobs’ tolerance for their ever-growing collection of pets is quickly waning.
“Kellie loves animals,” the songwriter says of his wife of four years. “Which is great. But in the past, she has literally adopted a raccoon, I can’t even count how many dogs, cats, a snake…I mean, sometimes, enough is enough.”
The American Idol alum won’t be deterred, though. Over Jacobs’ objections, she chases down and adopts a little peep of chickens.
“I think it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission,” the “Someone Somewhere Tonight” singer quips.
Watch the clip above to see what happens when the chickens escape their coop! I Love Kellie Pickler premieres on Nov. 5 at 10 p.m. ET on CMT.
