Nicola O Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I put two 'offers' on freecycle yesterday - a hoover and a bag of glorious chicken poo !! Had dozens of people wanting the hoover, but....NO ONE WANTS MY CHOOK POOP !!!! I gave it a wonderful description, extoling the wonders of chicken poo, that it's a fantastic fertilizer & works wonders in the compost heap etc. but still no takers. Oh well, I guess Dad will have to have another load for his compost heap . Nicola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Do you have allotments near you (try phoning your council if you aren't sure). They usually have a notice board up at the entrance, you could pop a little sign on there. I am sure they will want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You'd think someone would want it . I always have a chuckle to myself in Klondyke Garden Centre when I see 2 (not very big) tubs of Chicken "Manure" for £10 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 My allotments are a very social place and on sunday mornings the shop is open and it's very busy! You may find this is the case at your local allotments, so have a drive out tomorrow to test the water. You may find a regular taker for your poo!!! At mine we have a space next to the hut for "donations" and anything going for free ccan be left there! It's worth a try! If I were closer - i'd have it!!! It not only feeds and conditions - it makes a great mulch - I can't get enough of it! I even clean out the run more than I need to just to just to have something to use as a mulch on my allotment! Good luck! Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 At last someone wants it Two people in fact The first guy (who I offered it too straight away) still hasn't got back to me so I think it will go to the second chap who happened to mention that he was thinking about getting chooks but was a bit nervous about it - I think I feel an invitation to visit chooks is needed . The allotment idea is a brilliant one - I might try that next time. Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 the second chap who happened to mention that he was thinking about getting chooks but was a bit nervous about it - I think I feel an invitation to visit chooks is needed . 2 birds, one stone A new chicken friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well, chook poo collector and his wife have just left . Had a lovely visit, they stayed about 45 mins. and loved the eglu and cube. We had a good chook chat, and they left not only with a bag of poo but some fresh eggs in an omlet box (so they've got web site and phone number) Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
