Owner must wait 8 years to 'retrieve' diamond from pet chicken

You've probably heard of the Golden Goose, but what about the diamond chicken? A woman in Britain is dealing with quite a fowl situation after her daughter's beloved pet chicken gobbled up one of her diamond earrings.

After taking the chicken to the veterinarian to see what her options were, she was told that the only way to retrieve the valuable rock would be to either euthanize the chicken, have it undergo a very risky medical procedure, or to just wait until the problematic poultry passes away naturally.

She's decided to wait until nature takes its course in order to save her daughter from heartbreak. Unfortunately for her, the average chicken lives for about eight years.
