Plastic chemicals leech into the water, then into chicken then into them and their eggs, then into you and into the ground from their waste. Stop promoting the poisoning of our planet please.
Blah Blah Blah! Really? SMH! Just because its plastic does NOT mean its bad. There are some that are inspected safe for consumption. You can check the Recycle symbol code on them. Good luck finding glass and non leaded metal for hoses and spigots for your home and NON PVC pipes for your Plumbing! HAHAHA! Some people are the doom and gloom and never can find anything good to say!
Get a “real” life.
The orange cup ones with the yellow valve are the only ones that work good an do not leak, I have tried several others with no luck. chickens figure out fast.
All my water systems are gravity fed from my rainwater collection system, takes care of the goats, horses, chickens an dogs. Your city water puts more chemicals in your water than they will ever get off of these, and I bet your home has plastic pipes in it somewhere.
While this is a cute theoretical system unless you add bleach (vinegar won’t cut it, I’ve seen mold grow on vinegar in plastic tubs) to your water system then this will just be a mold filled sickness causing stink hole in a couple months and appears to be pretty difficult to clean properly if at all…
Oh dear Lord what will the hospitals use instead of plastics. Can you just imagine the ease of packing blood bags in a cooler box if they use glass containers instead, let alone the cost and the extra care needed for the handling of them, drop one and it’s blood and glass everywhere.
All I.V. solutions used to be in glass. The reason sited above is one of the reasons why they are not done that way any longer. It was found to be safer for all concerned to have the solutions in plastic.
Plastics now are much more friendly than back in my day for one they are BHP free.
Me….. I’m putting one together this next weekend!!
Happy chickens to All!!!
