Can nitrogen in chicken liter kill fish if rain runoff goes to pond?

The nitrogen in chicken manure is usually present as ammonia which is both toxic and changes the pH of any receiving water. Both these effects can kill fish. On the longer term the decomposition of organics can remove oxygen from the water. Even more damage can be cause by the eutrophication of the water which causes algal blooms and subsequent oxygen depletion.
