Am I right in remembering that because of the high nitrogen poultry manure needs to “age” for a while to prevent it burning whatever you want to fertilize it with?

I believe that is true for all manure.

My understanding is that us that manure is very high in nitrogen and has to age - I use goat manure which has less nitrogen. I still let it age, but not as long. For both, I test the temp in the compost pile to make sure it’s hot enough to kill pathogens.

You can use your own urine if it's diluted. No need to age it. 10 to 1, even 30 to 1 ratios of water to urine are good starting points.
