Grey water gardening - lawn - and free range chickens....

[Venicecoop]

Greetings all,

I've got six hens who free range my garden and yard and they love to play on and eat the grass. However, I've decided to start reusing bathwater (just via bucket) to water my lawn.

Is this dangerous to the girls, as they eat it? I don't plan on putting them on it when it's wet, but even dry I assume some soap residue. Has anyone done this? Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated. Thank you!
