Composting hen litter

[Cowlife]

Thoughts please.
I m keen to reduce my Fertiliser bill and improve soil health.
I can get hen manure from a laying house, if I let it lie in a silo for a bit will it turn into slower release compost type material?

I know its not composting in the truest sense of the word but its all I can do with my facilities.

Plan b is cow slurry and N

If you could layer it with something carboniferous- like bark, woodshop, sawdust, straw? Then it will "give all that nitrogen something to do" ie take the heat out of it.
That's just my thoughts, otherwise your plan will work but it won't get 'really composty' if it's too hot for the microbes and fungi to break it down. Manage the moisture content, you'll want to add water - and if you can get a long temp probe, like a grain heap thermometer - monitor the temp.
Turn it before it gets to 70°C and that will preserve the biology present.
Overhearing just kills it, and you end up with nutrients but no life in it
