Best way to utilise chicken droppings

I have lots of chicken droppings in the garden from my three hens and have no idea of the best way to make use of them. To date I have just raked them up and thrown them away but I feel this is a waste as there must be some way they can be recycled. I thought about using them on compost but how do you do it? Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.

    Throw them on the compost heap. Simples.

    As Zazen says, add them to the compost heap. Fresh chicken droppings aren't good to use directly round plants but the high nitrogen levels in them are really good for breaking down compost.
