I just use the deep litter from the chicken coop. Not much going into the compost this year, as all leaves and cut grass(bagged) goes into the run for the chickens. But the past 6 years, we have had some fantastic compost. I put everything in the pile but the tomato vines. They get burned. But kitchen waste the chickens don't eat-coffee grounds, tea bags, onion skins, potato skins, other plants that I pull from the gardens, some cut grass. It just depends on how things are growing that season. Chicken feathers when we were processing chickens. The chicken blood went to the rose bushes.

I usually only pull out the DL if it gets wet. And sometimes, it rains enough here to flood into the coop.
Or, if I start smelling ammonia.
