Wikipedia
Chicken manure is the feces of chickens used as an organic fertilizer, especially for soil low in nitrogen. Of all animal manures, it has the highest amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Chicken manure is sometimes pelletized for use as a fertilizer, and this product may have additional phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen added. Optimal storage conditions for chicken manure includes it being kept in a covered area and retaining its liquid, because a significant amount of nitrogen exists in the urine.
Fresh chicken manure contains approximately 1.5% nitrogen. One chicken produces approximately 8-11 pounds of manure monthly. Chicken manure can be used to create homemade plant fertilizer.
