Dead chicken into cesspool
My farmer friend has two cesspools in series. They drain to a field tile. A few years ago, he was having problems, and was advised to throw a dead chicken into the upstream cesspool, feathers and everything. He says it worked. Comments?

Wives tale and a waste of a perfectly good chicken...
There is more bacteria in human waste then any product or animal someone may want to add to their septic...
What could the chicken possibly have done to help his septic out?

My grandfather always swore by putting a packet of yeast into his septic tank each month and he never had any septic issues. I've done the same although I forget about a third of the time. I've had a trouble free septic system also.
