I have got the offer of rather a lot of very fresh chicken manure. Very fresh, it doesn't come much fresher ! My question is, other than making a tea of it just as you would other manures, can I use it on plants in any other way ? For example, on rhubarb, or rasps, other gross feeders like those ? And how does it differ in nutrients from horse dung, which I also have ?

I wouldn't put it on anything growing when it's fresh like that - it's very acidic
I believe it's higher in phosphorus than horse manure - see the thread of posts by Geordie that have been "archived" in the Growing Techniques section (scroll down until you get to the part about compost and manure).
