Can anyone advise a novice on the best way to clean up after their chickens and transform into manure for the allotment.

Puyt it on a compost heap and mix in generous amounts of weeds and grass clipping.

I made my new coop high enough to get a wheelbarrow underneath, so I can just scrape everything straight into the barrow, otherwise a shovel (coal bunker type) is quite useful.
If you've got straw or woodchippings for bedding, it's a bit dry and 'brown' so needs green stuff to get it composting properly, if it's 'neat' it's a good activator.

Urninate on it yourself.

Urine is a good accelerent for composting. Works well.  Easier for men to apply though.

I put my chook poo straight onto the allotment, just make sure that it is not in direct contact with plants. Seems to work a treat.
