I’ve seen it all now. Stop throwing dead animals in your septic tank. A normal bowel movement already contains trillions of bacteria and natural enzymes. Your septic tank gets the biology it needs from the waste going into it every day. Dead chickens don’t “help the bacteria.” They add unnecessary solids, and now the system has to work harder to break down both your household waste and the dead animals you threw in there.
Septic maintenance is simple:
Watch what goes down the drain.
Follow the 3 P’s (P*e, Poo, Paper)
Quit believing septic myths.
Pump the tank on schedule.
And honestly, if you really care about the health of your septic tank, eat a big meal, go to the restroom, and drop a big ol’ deuce. Flush that bacteria into your septic tank the way nature intended.
