      Be careful T , fresh chicken shit can be very hard on your plants . I   
   let the hay/shit from out hen house compost for at least 6 months before   
   using it on the garden - I don't know the history of the stuff you're   
   using so ... Rabbit shit , however , can be used right away , and has   
   better long-term nourishment for your plants .
