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 used to keep a large number of free range birds and always composted
their litter from the nesting roosting houses, it was very good stuff

It is indeed. But if you have free ranging hens (as I have although only
two) you simply can't keep them from depositing wherever they happen to
be.
They don't just wait until they're indoors.

How do you stop the foxes getting at them?
