So what does fecal matter count as? For example my chickens eat the plants, then process it. Then the worm population skyrockets in the dirt where they live, and of course many of them get eaten by said chickens as well, but overall the population has still increased noticably.

Is the chicken's digestive track just considered part of the composting process? Or is that only once it hits the ground and started getting rained on

It's actually more complicated than I bet most Lemmy users can comment on, there are so many varieties of worms, different kinds of topsoil and interactions, and the idea that animal feces can vary wildly in composition and starts undergoing chemical changes as soon as it contacts air.
