[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 115325, member: 2258"] We've used chicken litter to fertilize our hay fields and learned a hard lesson on that too. If it's put out in the fall after last hay is cut and let set all winter it works great. But my father in law decided to fertilize one spring about 2 years ago and the field burnt to a crisp. One small 4 1/2 acre hay field that we were getting 25 round bales off of on average went down to 4 and 5 bales....after one winter and no fertilizer at all on it, with lots of rain, it finally came back. So my advice is to only fertilize with chicken litter in the fall, and only if you live in an area that gets a fair amount of rainfall thru the winter. [/QUOTE]
