Default chicken poo

I am aure I have seen something recently on here about chicken poo but can't find it now.

My question is, can I use my chicken poo on the garden without composting it with all the other stuff? I know it will burn if I use it straight away but can I do anything with it to decompose it a bit first? Like putting it in a bucket and leaving it or will this result in a smelly mess and vermin?

I would quite like to use it concentrated and don't want to wait for the whole compost to be ready.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

you could start another compost pile just of poo but other than thet its the waiting game I think.

You could mix it with your other compost chicken droppings as i remember neat are rather high in Nitrogen ideal for the compost heap jacob
