I have been advised that chicken manure is excellant to use. I hve manged to get a lot of it mixed with straw. Now all this going on in the news about bird flu has got me worried. I have put the bird poop in my compost bin to rot down, now shoudl I be worried if its got somethign wrong with it or when it rots down will it break down everything. THe person I got it from has given it to many people and I have not heard any issues about it but its just me being paranoid
QuoteI have been advised that chicken manure is excellant to use.
Dried poultry manure is high in nitrogen and potash.

Put it on the compost heap in layers it will help the other products in your heap to rot down.
Put some in a string/hessian bag and immerse it in your water barrel and you will make a good liquid fertiliser.
