a few questions...

is chicken manure better than horse poo??

does i need to rot down like horse muck?

what kind of veg like it, can you just put as much as you like down or is there a point of to much? [can you actually put to much horse mess down]??

at the moment its a couple weeks old and mixed with wood chippins more like saw dust
straight from local chicken guy i know loads of it if i want

thanks for your answers

Modified to put an "n" in "manure" for seach purposes.

I don't know if it's better, I'm thinking it's probably not though. I put it straight into the composter and let it rot down with everything else.

If it's fresh and you apply directly to the soil it can burn your plants. As Jak says either add it to the compost bin or pile it up somewhere and let it rot down for a while.
Or make a liquid fertiliser from it

leaving it for six months is ideal.  most veg and fruit benefit from it, not too much on carrots or parsnips or they fork

As it is difficult to define  what is 'not too much' I personally wouldnt use any for carrots, parsnips or beetroot.
They do better on ground that has not been manured recently, but preferably for a previous years crop.

Chicken manure is potent, as I found out the hard way to my cost many years ago, and needs to be extremely well rotted.

Chicken manure and sawdust make great compost.  Stack it in layers with green waste and leave to cook.  Will take 3-4 months over summer, longer over winter.  I make loads of this

Newshoot, that's a good idea. Chicken manure is alkaline and the sawdust will give be slightly acidic when it rots so they'll cancel each other and give a nice neutral compost.
