Hi there

chicken manure is high nitrogen so anything leafy and BFB has less nitrogen but some phosphorus so is good for leafy crops and for roots.

Chicken poo must be well rotted or you will find leafy crops such as brassica might get burnt.  Our chicken poo goes on the compost heap for a year before hitting the allotment.
Friend on the plot next to me uses chicken poo pellets and has a great deal of success

BFB I always us liberally on my Onions and Shallots - also use it in the salad bed for turnips, radish and carrots.

Hope this helps
