Chicken manure

Chicken manure is the feces of chickens, used as an organic fertilizer, especially on soil that is low in nitrogen. Among common animal manures it carries the highest concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium; fresh chicken manure typically runs 0.5 to 0.9 percent nitrogen, 0.4 to 0.5 percent phosphorus and 1.2 to 1.7 percent potassium, and a single chicken produces roughly 8 to 11 pounds of it a month. It can be pelletized, sometimes with added nutrients, for easier application, or used to make homemade plant fertilizer. Because much of its nitrogen is held in the liquid component from urine, it is best stored covered so that liquid is not lost before use.
