We discuss how to detect fluctuating spin currents and derive full counting statistics of electron spin transfers. We consider several detectors in series monitoring different components of the spins. We have found that in general the statistics of the measurement outcomes cannot be explained with the projection postulate and essentially depends on the quantum dynamics of the detectors.
