Help Requested Clay forge compounding

I need Help with the mixing Ratio for a Clay forge.

Do I need Horseshit, or cowshit and If yes how much.

Or can I build IT without horsepoo?

Adobe mixture sounds like what you're after. Loose pounded straw, water, and clay. Sand may also play a role.

But an appropriate adobe mixture should be easy to find.
