Yes to the native plant feed. I am told the chook poo fertilisers are OK, but maybe only in moderation. As to whether it will survive, the definitive answer is, I don't know.

I did something similar to a much bigger one, about 3 metres, a few years ago when I was giving everyone a feed and blithely threw a few cups of nitrophoska around it(as one does). It survived, but still isn't quite back to normal. For probably two or three years it didn't produce any nuts, now it does, but not many yet.

I think yours will probably survive but take a while to recover because it is small, so you won't have fertilised it over too widespread an area. If it is going to die, it will die quite soon.
