I am an avid organic gardener, and use alot of manure. In fact, I got into raising chickens because I wanted the manure for the garden. The eggs were just an extra benefit.


Having said that, I would NEVER PAY MONEY for chicken manure!


The reason for this is because there are too many farmers and chicken growers who are willing to give me their material for free. Or maybe for some help cleaning the coop.


I have no problems at all finding farmers or chicken growers who are willing to give me their manure. For free.


Of course, I make sure and return during harvest season with a heaping basket of fresh, organic vegetables. Finer quality food than they can buy in any grocery store. And frankly, after they eat some of my veggies, they are glad to call me back for more manure.


Why pay good money for something that most people will just give you for free?

Because its a gift from our chickens to help with their upkeep, why else?
