I cannot get fresh chicken manure anyway , I know that my father
always told me it was too acidic and t burn plants
The horse manure I can get ,some in my nerby botanic garden and is a
dead one ,already mixed with clay and straw , and even that has to be
put in the bottom of the well for roses and covered with soil on
which will rest rose roots I use it very seldom for maple or in
rotation with othe
rs fertilizers
We have cow manure horse manure and poultry's
I bought some poultry's and is processed looks like small
cylinders and normally I put 4. 7 on the pot between roots and the pot
edge .. but for instance not on pentatphilla as I read they hate rotten
fertilizer so for Penta I use japanese fertilizer only

Chicken manure will burn, I don't know about other animals, but I have
used horse manure as it came from the barn, mixed with saw dust.
Many years ago I lived in Northern San Diego County, California. My father
was big into getting free fertilizer from the dairy and chicken farms in the San
Luis Rey Valley, which I got to spread after school.
We always mixed the chicken manure with the local adobe soil at about 1 to 1
ratio and it worked fine.
A neighbor got a load of chicken manure and spread it heavily on his lawn.
Killed every blade of grass and smelled of chicken manure every time it rained
for years. (Which in that climate, in those years, wasn't much. THANKFULLY)
