Do not cover them with plastic.  Leave them uncovered or covered with a water permeable material (weed suppressing fabric, cardboard etc)

Totally agree - leave uncovered for the winter to do its work and for the rain to dilute the strength of the chicken poo. I would cover when weeds start growing next spring.

I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
