chicken manure

I've got a small free-range egg/chicken farmer round the corner.
If I can get him to give me some of his animal's muck, say from the stalls
or whatever, can I use it on the garden? In the compost? Or am I wasting
my
time? Does it have to be rotted like horse manure? What about diseases,
are there likely to be any problems?
I would like to know a bit more about the pros and cons before I approach
the chap.
Any ideas?

====================
Many years ago it was used dried and powdered. Some workers doing the drying
and powdering reported that it acted as a hair restorer.
I believe I saw it somewhere recently being sold in tubs for more
conventional purposes - possibly Do-It-All.
