Woman Forced To Wait 8 Years Before Retrieving Diamond Swallowed By Chicken

[Initech]

Claire Lennon, 38, of Berkshire, will not be able to recover the £300 diamond until her six-month old chicken Sarah gets old and dies.

Vets say the jewel, which was given to Miss Lennon by her partner Adam de Marco, is trapped inside Sarah's stomach and an operation to retrieve it could put the bird's life in danger.

Sarah could potentially live another eight years, forcing her owner to wait almost a decade for the return of the gift.

3. Update:

Sources report that Sarah the chicken was killed today in a tragic barn-yard accident. How she managed to chop off her own head, dress and cook herself remains a mystery.
