chicken droppings

Chicken droppings are the feces of chickens.

The term appears in agricultural and gardening contexts, where the droppings serve as nitrogen-rich fertilizer: Chicken droppings make excellent compost when properly aged.

Like other animal waste terms, it occasionally appears in dismissive comparisons: His excuse wasn't worth chicken droppings.
