How to handle the winter time blues
Pat B:
Tim, Layer the chicken manure with lots of dried leaves, straw and similar high carbon items. Wet the pile and let it sit for a few days. Then mix it all up to add air and it will start to cook. Getting the right ratio of nitrogen and carbon is the secret. The pile will start steaming when it cooks. It can get to 140deg to 160 deg when it is really cooking. Aerate the pile every few days and in a month or less you will have good compost. You can tell when the temp drops. Finished compost doesn't stink either. Has a nice earthy smell.
Put a coil of copper tubing in the pile and hook your garden hose to it for a nice hot outdoor shower. ;D

I look outside at my garden and all I see is ice and snow. Haven't seen the ground since before Christmas. You are a lucky man.
