Aircon Water for Chickens?

[nickmancity]

my aircon overflow is in the chicken run and of course the chooks drink it , is it ok for them as it is running water ?

The water that drains from the air conditioner is just moisture in the air that has condensed on the coils of the air conditioner. It should be safe.

my history on this is a little blurry. supposedly (and please check me on this) water from the coils of an air conditioner or water cooler mutated some common bacteria or possibly algae to make legionnaire's disease.

here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionellosis#First_known_cases

I don't know how this will affect chickens, but thought I should bring it up.
