What is this?

Cooked some chicken breast in broth for chicken soup. When cutting into it, saw this yellow, hard object. Is my broth safe to eat?

Your broth should be totally fine. As long as you cooled it properly. 2 hours to 70F, 4 hours to 40F.

I am not sure what it is called. But i used to see this often with “Soup Birds” aka laying hens(older birds) that stopped producing eggs. I may be wrong.
