Welcome to the forum. I'm not good at recognizing nanners yet, but if it said both Local and hardy, chances are it was already growing in your area, and that should narrow it to Musa basjoo or Mekong giant, the latter having more red like yours, but someone here will be able to ID it for you.

I don't think that putting it in the chicken yard is going to do much that you can't do with the right soil mix and fertilizer. Why don't you put it out in the yard where you and your neighbors can all enjoy it?
