RE: Chicken manure....Good or No?

Does anyone have numbers on Llama manure?

I put my fresh Llama on the garden with no detrimental effects to new plants while sheep manure takes some composting. We are also chicken farmers and do spread liquid manure on fields in September for spring planting, anything earlier than that will be killed by it. The high ammonia and nitrogen needs to be composted off for any planting.

Subject: Chicken manure....Good or No?

I just had a farmer friend stop by and offer too give give a truck load of
Chicken Manure for my new pumpkin patch.  He said it would help increase
growth.

Anyone on this list used it before?  My friend is a successful farmer, but
he grows commercial crops of corn, soybeans, etc.

Please let me know what you think. I need to say NO early on, before he
makes all the arrangements.  Thanks,
Amelia Painter
