Chicken litter is "hotter"
Years ago, an older gentleman in the community had a small garden, about 30'x30', I'm guessing. Anyway, he put a pu load of chicken litter on it and tilled it in. Planted his seeds.... and waited. It was so 'hot' nothing came up. The grass wouldn't even grow.... bare earth all summer long. He removed and replaced the top 6"-8" of soil and had a garden the next year.
