Chicken poo and straw on compost heap

[Kingfisher]

Hi, can anyone tell me about chicken poo on the compost heap, do I have to sort out the poo from the straw or do I put it all together ?

No just mix it in, you need to leave it to break down for at least 9 months. Set a heap going and just give it an occasional stir without adding any more poo to it.
