Bag it up and let it *Mature* for a while.

Let it cure.  Monitor the pile and once you are satisfied that the entire contents of your bin has been heated, loosely cover and let cure for 45-60 days before using.    It's ready when most material is dark, crumbly and sweet-smelling like soil.

Chicken manure is expensive.  It is a good feed for most crops too ;)  (Once it has fermented down for a few months)
All you do and all you see is all your life will ever be

we're going to try to put some in a hessian sack and pop it into a water butt for feed, like some people do with horse muck  ;D

I made a feed with some chicken muck last year, and my mate who watered for me while i was away swore it gave him the lergy!!!!

Chicken muck is a great feed as higher nitrogen content than most other muck, but has less of a conditioning effect (depending what the bedding is)

I mixed my last load in with the leaf mould.

i would not bag it up as this makes it go like sludge i just pile it on the compots heap or leave it to dry out left to dry is a good option it goes to powder if it is straw free and i use it as a dry fertiliser from June its top stuff tho no matter how you use it
You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.
