Well, it’s time to handle a dirty coop covered in poop. Chickens are so gross sometimes. BUT we can use their poo as a great fertilizer for our plants in the garden.
Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium… BUT also high in ammonia, which can burn your plants. This is why you might hear that chicken manure is “HOT”—it has nothing to do with temperature. Chicken poop must rest a while to be useable, so I just throw it in the compost until I harvest in a year.
