Amelia,
Chicken manure is good, but it is strong, don't put too much on the garden
or it can burn your tender plants (in the Spring), also if you use it till
it in well. I have a friend who has been using chicken manure for years now
(10+ years) and has had very good success (his best is 699.4lbs). Be ready
for the 'smell', it is rather strong.
