Yucky anaerobic compost?

We have a chicken run where the chickens kick out the hay from their coop onto the run floor. They are free ranged, but we have this small area jic. I was digging in there and there is some serious anaerobic stuff going on undernieth the hay they kicked down...smells like sewer..So, we rototilled itpretty well. My question is, will this stuff ever be good for compost? Can I add it to a healthy compost and have it be ok? I know the smell will go away once it dries out, but should I wait a year to use this area for a garden? We are going to move the coop and really let it dry and see what it looks like after that..
