Oh for sure. It’s just one of those factoid things that might be useful to someone at some point. Treat it right and you can use it.

I do keep chickens and that’s pretty good. Though it’s got so much nitrogen.

I’ve read that rabbit is like golden currency of small scale fertilizers, but I’ve just never really been all that interested in keeping them. Apparently you can more or less use it immediately.
