Yes, and no.  Manures in general should be limited to no more than about 20% of the total mix, which means it can be used in limited amounts as one of the composts. Chicken manure, though, is very high in phosphates which will result in build-up of phosphorus in the soil, so its use should be limited as much as possible.
