Rabbits and Goats and Chickens, OH MY!

[SarahFair]

I have 3 rabbits, 2 goats, and 9 chickens. They poop.

Now i know chicken poop its very hot and should be composted...

Can I just go "rake out" the rabbit and goat pellets and throw them under the mulch around the plants?

What about making compost tea for the goat and rabbits poops?


I have the double knock out roses that I was a bad mom to. I left them in their pots ALL winter long on my sidewalk. Some are starting to grow leaves and some are just sticks that I cut back to almost the ground. I removed the dirt from them and saw a few fuzzy roots so I decided to give them a chance. Which poop would be the best for them?

I also have other herbs, angel trumpet, lilies, and various other flowers..

Is adding poop and then adding compost tea too much?

I mulched my Angel Trumpet with pine chips. The trees were from seasoned wood and have been chipped and sitting in my yard for a little over a year (I only use them here and there...)

Will these give the plants any acidic addatives?

we have goats and we clean out the goat barn with hay and poop and i put it on my flowers and vegetable garden and it seems to do good

Yes, rabbit manure can be put on plants without composting they wont "burn" plants. Chicken manure/Poultry manure has to be composted before put in the garden. I'm not sure about goats though.

I have goats, rabbits and chickens too and I have been using the rabbit poop right in the garden.
I have always aged the chicken poop in the compost for close to a year.
This is the first year with goats and sheep and I was told that could go right into the garden too.
I have been putting it into the compost that I plan to use this year and am not worried about aging it.

last year i ordered 300 chicks from a hatchery and put saw dust on the bottom of the brooders and when it needed changing i put it in my garden well after 4 months sitting in the garden that stuff was potent...I had an abundance of everything in the garden....lol
