According to Top-news.top, a man named Ngo in Phuket, Thailand, discovered a foreign object in the stomach of a chicken when he returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, China to take care of some business. Ngo's father decided to catch the hen that he had raised for 3-4 years to treat his son. When they cut open the chicken, they found a strangely shaped light brown foreign object that looked very similar to a "chicken treasure".

Chicken treasure is a diseased ovarian cyst with the same basic composition as egg yolk. The name "chicken treasure" in Chinese refers to the valuable substance in the chicken's body. Chicken treasure often appears in the stomachs of old hens raised for many years. The Chinese believe that chicken treasure can be used to make medicine.

Mr. Ngo and his son checked the information online but could not be sure. Therefore, Mr. Ngo tried to contact some companies that had auctioned this product and 2-3 companies confirmed that what Mr. Ngo and his son discovered inside the hen was indeed "chicken treasure". They said that they had auctioned this foreign object for hundreds of thousands of USD.

Many companies have expressed interest in dealing directly with Mr. Ngo, but his family is still waiting for confirmation from experts. The foreign object was dried and preserved by Mr. Ngo at home.
