Use NPK, to promote the vegetative leaves.

Hello ?poultry manure is just OK to use for it is high in nitrogen an important element foe vegetative development however for this to turn out positive, the crops must have enough root system to enable them to absorb nutrients from soil hence PHOSPHOROUS is vital. Secondly plants must not be under thick shade to help them synthesize(make their food) properly from absorbed nutrients +water aided by maximum absorption of sunlight (photosynthesis). Third soil/growing media PH level must be within acceptable levels( low PH too much acid or high PH alkaline soils) hinder better results even if other factors are constant. In this case chicken manure in itself contains high level of uric acid so if the soil too perhaps had low PH then you can guess the end result. Right PH for most vegetables is a bout 5.5-6.5. Fourth point is the manure should be aged/ well decomposed.

I believe one if not all the above reasons contributed to the condition of your vegetables.

It's OK, both granular and NPK foliar boosters in addition ensure your watering method/ system allow equitable distribution to each plant.
Thank you. If still need more insight and guidance please feel free to ask
