Chicken shit. I don't have a scientific explanation but I have noticed it does more for the plants then other shit. I have tried tortoise shit which is very similar to horse shit without much luck.

If your soil is acidic, horse shit might be a better choice to help neutralize the pH. If your soil is alkaline, chicken shit could help lower the pH.

Yes. Both are amazing for different reasons. Horse is good for lighter application areas where nutrients are more plentiful.

Chicken is higher in nutrients but can burn & damage if its not applied properly / composted

More nitrogen in the chicken shit and you have to wait down to two months to mature if hot. Cold, minimum 6 months like horse shit.

Use what you have !

Chicken, high nitrogen. But it'll burn your plants if you dont let it sit for a while before applying.

ive never used either

but then, im not a very good gardener

mushroom compost

& veggie compost yea but i dont have any sort of full operation going on

i grow some herbs

we hang out, we chat sometimes

i have some berry bushes

I’ve never seen any of my Amish neighbors put horse on their garden, but I have seen several use chicken. They are bigger fans of mushroom compost & cover crops though.

If you want the easiest manure to use get a bunny. It goes directly from the cage into the garden, no compost time required.

horse is more of a soil conditioner than high nutrient. think composted straw, good for clayey soils.

chicken is great available N for whatever, just be sure you don't burn the plants.
