How many of you have used chicken manure in your compost? I have been composting the manure from my flock for up to 16 months and plan to use the oldest in my garden next year.
The only problem is that I recently found that my chickens have large round worms. I am treating them with acidified copper sulfate, which is the most environmentally friendly medication I could find.
My questions are: how long do I have to compost to be sure that there are no parasite eggs in the manure, and how long do I need to compost to be sure the copper sulfate is not an issue?
Any experience in this would be much appreciated.
