Chicken manure is one of the richest manures around. It makes a wonderful fertilizing tea. You just don't want to use it fresh, because it is considered "hot". You must let it age. 
To make the chicken manure tea find yourself an old trash can that is between 35-50 gallons. You'll then need an old burlap bag. We use an old grain sack. Fill the bag about 3/4 full. Then add a big rock or something heavy to weigh it down. We use a couple of bricks. Fill the garbage can with water. Add the burlap bag as if it were a giant tea bag. Now, let the mixture sit for about three weeks.
Once the three weeks are over, you will have nutrient-rich chicken manure fertilizer tea. As the bag sits in the water, it becomes infused with the all the nutrients from the chicken manure. You can use this fertilizer tea to water your plants to give them a vitamin boost. Be sure to water at the base of the plant and not the foliage.
