As someone who cleans their coop and run every day, and shovels up every single bit of chicken poop (and I only have four chickens), I think your numbers are a little low.

Lol it feels like it. It's about an average.

Hehe, I know. I was making a joke. I did SO MUCH research about chickens before I bought them (3 years of intensively studying this site and books), but for some reason, I never knew the exact statistic until just a few months ago. People always said chickens pooped "a lot", but no one ever quantified that. Had I realized exactly how much chickens poop before I built my coop/run, I would have done a few things differently!

Does that contribute to global warming?

I'm still going to blame the cows. Those bastards are always telling people to "eat mor chikin". They deserve to be railed on.

I mean there are around 1 Billion cows in the world. About 22.85 billion chickens. So it really adds up.
I wonder how many chickens it takes to make the same amount of manure as a cow produces in a year. Without doing the math A LOT
