Cassier, I would find out a lot more about this poo before using. First, yes, buttOn is right. Chicken poo is very strong and needs to be composted and still way diluted.

Unfortunately that is not the only concern. The following citation came across my desk just this week:
Article Title:
Arsenic In Chicken Production
A common feed additive adds arsenic to human food and endangers water supplies

IF the chickens were fed only pure grains or free range without any supplemental feed, fine, but that is VERY RARE these days, in this country. Almost everyone uses commercial feed.
