Celeste fig: chicken poo?

In another house at another time, I had a "Celestine" fig that I planted by my chicken coop (labeled by WalMart). I watered the chickens in a dishpan. Of course the girls would often take a flying leap over their water and poop in it on the way over. So every day after work, I dumped the poopy water on the little fig tree. It grew very well and made some delicious figs. My Celeste fig I have now is 5'tall, and does not grow much. It made 10 figs year before last and 18 figs last year. Should I put some chicken poo on it, or fertilize, or just be more patient?
