How long to make usable compost from chicken poop?

You can layer the chicken manure in with any other compost or keep it separate in an open compost pile. Add straw, leaves or grass clippings. Water the compost weekly and turn every month. The uric acid in the chicken feces will burn young plants so it is best to allow the compost at least 6 months to percolate before adding directly to the growing garden. Use fresh chicken manure in the fall when the growing season is over to allow the winter precipitation to leech the nutrients into the soil.
