how much chicken manure would u add to a 2 gallon pot

[hilbie]

have 70 percentish orgainc soil that just grew are garden so im sure theres some life in it, adding 30 percent coco to it plus some lime, want to add castings if i can find them but have access to chicken dookie. ill be feedin with fish emulsion and blackstrap n some dare i say it here chems, but i want to add some dook and give it as many natural beneficials as i can and this stuff is cheap-

hard to say mate - chicken manure is pretty strong, i would add 1-2 tablespoons the first time but that's just an educated guess.

good luck

where did the manure come from, how old is it, processed?

Like Verdantgreen said. Also, be aware that chicken manure ties up available zinc in the soil. Watch for zinc problems which would normally be a fairly rare thing.
Me? I wouldn't use chicken manure unless it had been fully cured (takes about 6 months to a year) and even then watch for zinc problems. CM is a very "hot" material. When I used CM in ag (4 to 7 tons/acre), I always had to spray neutral zinc 52% at a rate of 7 lbs/acre 3 times prior to bloom to prevent deficiencies.

If you get some bokashi bran and mix it together and ferment, then cure it, you should have some potent fertilizer.

I don't have directions for you but some one somewhere does.

chicken shit is pretty hot so if its not composted well, dont use it. but if it is, then have about 1/4 to 1/3 your total compost as composted chicken shit, with the rest being your castings and other compost. i personally think the mixes in the organics for beginners to be very sound an i use the 1st one myself. follow the one for coco to the T and you cant go wrong as far as a coco mix goes. you must not forget the powdered dolomite lime. the type of organic compost isnt critical in the mixes, but the ratios and he fact that it is composted is.

You can let the chicken manure age in a bucket or trash can for a few months and it becomes less hot, either that or compost it.

Composted in the bag.....1 TBS per gallon.
If the run out you have fish emulsions to boost them.
