Hey guys so I'm getting to that point where I need to make up my mind what im gonna use as a primary fertilizer once I pot up.
I'm debating between http://www.chickitydoodoo.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40&Itemid=97
chickity doo doo, because its pretty affordable (18$ for 25lbs), plus it a 5-3-2.5 with 9% cal.
 
then theres the option of buying goat or rabbit poo? lol 4-5 bucks for 5gal
I'd assume if I did this I would have to supplement with even more additives, minerals, more npk? ($$??$)
 
Just trying to figure out which would be the best/most affordable option for organics.
 
(Worm castings will certainly be blended in with this.)
 
Wow....just noticed this post is totally full of crap....(nice pun eh?) 
Take it easy guys.
As always, your opinions are very much valued.
 
Thanks,

Rabbit manure is the only non-hot type that I know of.  It would probably work best particularly if you're just putting it on.
 
If I had the option I would use fresh rabbit poo but I dont, this year I will use Chickity Doo Doo.  The cost is very reasonable so that is a plus and there are upsides to not having to deal with 5 gallon buckets of fresh manure.  
 
 i know from growing up on two farms that those manures are quite good, i have 11 rats and use there compostable bedding/poo on top of any other organics i can get like
 
coffee grounds
banana peals
egg shells
leaves
grass
pine straw
 
you name it as long as its good for the plants and worms, i love my worms(the free range variety)LOL
 
my friend Jay Weaver and his family(Creator of the Peach and Red Ghost Scorpion) raise sheep,rabbits,horses,llamas and and chickens all these manures are wonderful for his peppers and most anything you wanna grow ;)
thanks your friend Joe
 
Manure is the way to go for peppers. Any of those choices are great as long as they are aged properly, and not used on plants too young to handle it. What size are you potting up to? Definitely use it sparingly in containers, and maybe not at all on young plants. I have a Caribbean red that I have overwintered for 3 years now, and I always mix in some old cow manure before bringing it inside for the winter, it is a well established plant though, and I worry less about burning it. 
 
The chicken poo product looks good. Rabbit poo is usually safer (won't burn as easily) but it all depends on whether or not the rabbit poo was composted or fresh. 
 
It's my understanding rabbit poo needs no composting, and can even be used as a side dressing. It seems to me the chicken poo will wash out sooner than the rabbit poo. I'd use both. In my own case, this season, I will use both chicken poo, and alfalfa meal. Alfalfa meal instead of rabbit poo. But, I change my mind a lot, too!

Woot! That sounds awesome, now if I was to use rabbit poo, or chicken manure strictly, how would you suggest I supplement calcium? I dread the cal deficiency so much because my plants had it last year.  This is awesome btw, I'd love to go local and pick up some of nature's goodness from some of the local ranchers out here.

SkrimpSkrampy says do not segregate your poo. Chickity doo doo and rabbit poo can live together:) Best of both worlds

How would one go about blending these two with a peat based medium?

I know Smileyguy uses the poop from his rabbits and his peppers go nuts for the stuff.

Yup they love it and it's not hot! Can't go wrong w a couple rabbits in cages. Last year i moved seventeen wheelbarrows of turds from 8 or 9 rabbits.
 
So I just went and picked up 10 gallons of bunny poop, how should I apply when mixing it with sunshine mix#4? I'll be blending it with worm castings, kelp meal and agricultural lime, and maybe some hi-phosphorous bat guano, also im debating between blending in the pelleted chickity doo doo (aka: treated chicken manure).
 
Should this be plenty to get through the season with some nice pods?
