Is chichen manure good for fig tree as fertilizer

Hello EDoukas,
Thank you very much for your so detailed informations advising me that I can use chicken manure for my in ground and potted fig trees with no problem. I really appreciate it very much.
As per your informations, I can simply put some chicken manure on the surface of the potted and in ground plants that will do right?

~i use fish emulsion on all my plants ,it is mixed with water .it will never burn and is exactly what the trees /plants love. i have a green house and about 35 fig trees it's all i need ,i can get all the manure i want but fish is better for me it is like 5% nitrogen and the other two #'s are 1 i think so it can't hurt anything anytime~ (5-1-1)

I have burnt many younger fig plant roots with cheaper fertilizers and I will never use them except
miracle gro. I have tried chicken, cow and mushroom fertilisers in my vege and wife's flower bed and
the plants love them.

~you are welcome ,you really got to be careful fertilizing,fig trees do not require as much as you might think, through my 3 years rooting and growing now,i found out  it's best to take it easy ,and not to over feed them~

~be careful with chicken manure it is highest in nitrogen ,make sure it is well aged and composted well or you will hurt them trees bad.

Thanks again for your reminder. Since I just bought two bags of chicken manure from the local nursery this morning, can I just put very little on the surface of potted and in ground soils then cover by by Scotts Nature Scapes mulch.

~yes  light amount should be ok ,that manure is probably aged ,and i wouldn't do it any more this year,but i'm no pro you might wait for the pro's to chime in ~

I use rabbit scat. It's like little time release pellets! The worms love it as well.
