Sams club sells some very nice cheap and effective composting bins. Works great to through poop and bedding together. breaks down into a very nice soil!
I never have composted it I always use cow poo. Dad hauls it over and dumps it next to my garden and Mountainman tills it in. I dddnever have used the chicken poo cause it is mixed with mulch and straw. Straw seeds sprout up and I don't want that in my garden. So now my chickens are making me more money.
