Another question: Do you mix ALL of that together, or are they individual mixes by themselves? Would it hurt to put them all together? Considering the NPK of all, of course.

Most good Garden Centers carry them, some Walmarts do, any respectable Nursery, and you can even order them off Ebay - if they are, no where to be found, where you live.

I have my own worm bin - I vermicompost.

Yes, I do combine things. It just takes simple addition to determine the final NPK value. Just add the NPK values, of each manure you add, all together to get your final numbers.
Add each of these at the rate of one cup, per gallon of unchlorinated water - unless noted otherwise.

Rabbit manure 2.4-1.4-.6
Cow manure (dairy) .6-.2-.5 Both cow manures (3) cups per gallon.
Steer manure (beef) .7-.3-.4
Chicken manure 1.1-.8-.5
Horse manure .7-.3-.6
Duck manure .6-1.4-.5
Sheep manure .7-.3-.9
Worm castings 1.0-.0-.0 (4) tablespoons per gallon

See not hard, just basic math....

Ok & one more just for fun : Elephant Poop is 1-.9-.6 on average (plus it is almost odor free).
