[Mr chips]

Can anyone tell me how much a cubic meter of Hen manure from a multi tiered free range shed will weigh please?

Depends on a variety of things but around 1.1t

Wow, that’s a lot of water. I thought it would be half that.

A well known rule is that s*** floats so would be less than a tonne. A lot will depend on how much shavings or bedding they have had but I would guess at around 6-700kgs per cube, heavier if not much bedding.

 

[Mr chips]

No bedding straight from the belts tipped twice a week.

Maybe easier saying how many birds there as there is a conversion

 

[Mr chips]

We are getting 34t a week . Just trying to work out how many cubic meter trailer we need to move it.

It’s quite heavy stuff probably get 10ton on a 10ton trailer

Between 600-700kgs per cube. I usually get 15-16t on an 18t trailer with it well heaped up, depends how wet it is though.

I’m getting 18/19t off 32k on a 16.5t trailer over a weigh bridge. Off the belts a cube will weigh more than 1t
