This was done late.

The Carbon/Nitrogen ratio is a good point. Newspapers typically have a
C/N ratio of 175 (175/1). to counter balance this you should use 8.3 lbs
of chicken fertilizer (C/N: 7 - 6) per pound of newsprint. Aiming for an
end C/N ratio of 25.
C/N ratio = C/N(175 + X7)/(X+1) where X = number of lbs of chicken
manure.

C/N ratio = C/N(175 + 7X)/(X+1) = C/N 25

C/N 25 = C/N(175 + 7x)/(X+1)
25X + 25 = (175 + 7x)
18X = 150

x = 8.333 lbs (3.8 kg) of chicken manure per pound (.454 kg) of newsprint

I love mathematics, especially tensor. However, I am not weighing
anything in regards to my compost piles. In my world, If it stinks - add
straw and turn the pile. If its not heating up - add fresh grass and
turn the pile. My chicken poop is mixed with the straw, Im not
separating or measuring the poop. Especially to a tenth of a decimal
point.

When it comes to composting - you have way way toooo much math
However, I can understand it's late or you have a great sense of humor
