Default chook manure breakdown

hello,

if i have a pile of straw with chook poo in it (as i do), can anyone tell me
the minimum time i can leave it till the chook poo is deactivated to the
point where it won't burn the plants? (i don't really want to compost it all
down, or anything, i just want it for mulch with extra vitamins). i watered
it, it's not dry. it's mostly straw, though, it's not a pile of manure by
any means.

tia!
