I would never use fresh chicken or any other fresh animal manure on my plants. However, pelletized or composted chicken manure is one of the best for organic growers. Used sparingly and with caution it will produce great results. My best plants last year were in a plot where I worked composted chicken manure pellets into the soil about a month before planting. It can also be used for side dressing.
