3 types of manure???

Welcome to the forum!

A question for your question! What are you wanting to grow?

chicken poo is very high in nitrogen, so great for leafy vegetables.

Farm yard manure will aid water retention, but ive not seen it in Pellets before.

You could spread the rotted manure over your beds/plot now to overwintering and then dig in and plant your crops next spring.

use the manure to bul up your soil and the pellets for spot fetilising

Of course you don't need any of them: I've never used any farmyard muck in 20 years of growing (just a bit of guinea pig and parrot poo, plus green manures)

What is your soil like at the moment? The pellets are more like a quick acting fertiliser, whilst the manure is more of a soil conditioner.

IMHO Use the 'hoss muck' as a soil conditioner anytime really. The chicken pellets and cow pellets? I would leave until the spring as a spring feed. (Unless you are growing winter brassicas of course where they could be given a small amount around each plant NOW.........but no later, and a second dose in late february.)
