Great Story

I got a like new 10x10 dog kennel someone put out for the trash collector

. Do you have a Habitat Reuse/Resale Shop you could donate the toilets to? I have gotten all my electrical boxes, fittings,conduit, lights, Interior wall sheeting, windows, shingles and even metal trim for exterior for my siding for my coop at the Reuse store. I always go there before Lowes, it saves a ton and your giving to a good cause too.

Use the innards moved to a five gallon bucket to provide water for your chickens.

Or heck use the whole thing for water for your chickens.....
First permanently plug the toilet up with a rubber gasket across the bottom. Then Bury the whole toilet up to the rim put fine mesh wire across the bowl about half inch under water to keep chicks from drowning. Or fill with pebbles. Hook the water supply up. To fill the water bowl press the lever..... hee hee. Someone with more plumbing knowledge than mne probably could tell you how to fix it so it would stay full without lever use.

Crush up the porceline and use it along with gravel to put under a concrete slab. Safety glasses and sledge hammer. Very sharp shards.

Use just the square water basins as pots for growing chicken greens. Or tipped over upside down to provide perch supports.
