I have an opportunity to get for free as much dried chicken poo as I can manage--I have never used this form of manure in my garden beds and was wondering if anyone else uses this?
I need some advice ladies...
Thank you!

Melody, I am not for certain but I think it's ok to use the dried chicken manure but I would not use alot of it. Spread it real good and til it in better. Is it from chicken houses? We have a bunch around here and they are always spreading it on all the fields. It sure does green them up real fast. But I would use it sparingly.
I use manure from my chickens, goats and cows here. It is all the fertilizer I use. Ya gotta be careful with the cow though. I had a couple dump truck loads put on my gardens and I got pig weed all over. I did not have it before the cow manure. I hate that evil weed.
You don't want it to fresh or it will burn your plants-chicken manure has a lot of amonia in it. If it has set out & dried I would think that it would be ok. Maybe just use it as a side dress for now & see if it helps.

Chicken manure?
