Chicken manure is generally too much nitrogen for okra though you could use some as a sidedressing after the plants are about 8 inches tall. Good alternatives if you can't get rabbit are goat manure, composted cow manure or composted horse manure. Be aware that cow manure can contain large amounts of salt which is fed to the cattle to keep them eating in the summer.
That link for rejuvenating okra is something I've never seen. I hate to think of doing that to my cowhorn though. It already produces over 100 pods per stalk. I don't think I could gather more than that. I usually grow 2 rows of okra 120 feet long across my garden. I pick 5 to 6 gallons of okra every other day.
