So, if I'm understanding, you have too much chicken poop and bedding to compost?

Do you have some friends that would like some for their gardens?

Around here they advertise it on Craigslist. Some give it away and some try to sell it.

Some one advised me to use as cattle feed

Any ideas how ?

mix it with grain, The digestive system of the chicken is a marvel of inefficiency. Just start slow, then you could mix up to 10% to 15%.

We have a cement mixer we mix grain with when finishing, a 55 gallon drum for small amounts. For large amounts auger feed truck.
