I've seen this in a couple places, so it might just be true:

Has anyone else heard of this? Supposedly it's true that the University of Delaware's department of chemical engineering has developed microprocessors that run on chicken feathers. Chicken feathers supposedly offer less resistance to electrical signals than silicon.

I haven't seen any other articles calling this a scam, so maybe it is true!

Apparently this is a fairly old story. I did find a 2002 correction in a Washington Post story saying this "technology" of combining chicken feathers and soy beans is actually for the resins in circuit boards, not the actual chips.
