Chicken Poo!

Post: # 53946Post chadspad »

I am about to ressurect a very old chicken shed for 4 hens and a cockerel - yippeee!! However, there is lots of very old chicken poo (will be at least 3 years old) on the ground that will obviously need cleaning up. What do I do with it? Can it go in compost bins?
Thanks Wendy

If it's 3 years old I doubt it'll need much more time. I'd just stick it straight on the garden. It'll be good compost already.

Gidday

Hey mate, bung it straight onto your garden. The cover it with a little bit of organic matter as a mulch, just enough to stop any rain splashing it up onto your plants.
