How do I compost the poo

Well, if you do that you're going to kill off HEALTHY earthworm populations. You must let chicken manure sit in a seperate compost pile and finish "heating up" before letting earthworms near it. I also recommend mixing in plenty of "green" and "brown" material (dead leaves and grass clippings). If you get a good system going, this provides an additional food source for your chickens (worms) and excellent fertilizer (earthworm castings and liquid form that can be "cooked" with molasses to form a nutrient tea) for your gardens (which also feed chickens

)

There's a whole article about this in the Backyard Poultry magazine this month.
