Chicken poo - how can I use it?

[QUOTE="marlingardener, post: 43721, member: 1535"] We too have chickens, and use the chicken manure on the vegetable gardens. I clean the coop daily and put the cleanings (grass clippings and poop) on the compost pile along with kitchen scraps, leaves, and twigs. After 6 months everything is composted and ready to use, but we are in a warm climate where the temperatures rarely get below 20 degrees. The chicken compost really helps the garden--greens like lettuce, and the squash plants particularly like it. We broadcast it and till it in, and then later side dress plants with it. Wonderful stuff if you can get it, but it does have to be composted before use. [/QUOTE]
