I have about half a sack of chicken manure left over from
last year. It now smells of ammonia instead of henhouse.
Is it still useable, and is it still useful?

Absolutely. Get it into the soil before all the nitrogen in the
ammonia has evaporated. {:-))

Yes, I agree. My guess is that is was dry before and then got wet which
releases the nitrogen into ammonia...This tells me, then, to keep my chicken
manure dry if I want to get the most nitrogen out of it. As I mentioned, I
am just guessing but I do know that it should be buried in soil asap.
