lately I get wonderful greens and great big leaves and stems but no fruit on things as zucchini and tomatoes, what do i need to add to the garden? I use composted chicken manure as fertilizer

I'm not sure about your chicken manure but it may be high in nitrogen. Hi nitrogen will give you beautiful dark green foliage
but will not produce much fruit. You may need a balanced fertilizer like 14-14-14 or 10-10-10. If you fertilize your lawn note how much higher the nitrogen number is than what I recommend. High nitrogen really greens up your lawn but when used on vegetables or any flowering plant it will not produce many blossoms. I hope this helps.

Try horse manure. We use it and have a ton of blooms on our tomato plants.

For your tomato I'd recommend Tomato-tone. You can find it at most nurseries and possibly at the big hardware chains.
