Thanks! I'm pretty proud of myself for coming up with that idea! Do you think it's safe to use that water for the chickens???
 
I'd say sure - what kind of shingles are on the roof? As long as they're newer I believe the water's okay. You may want to just filter out any bits of shingle or asphalt that runoff.
 
I think the water be safe for the chickens. You can always install a first flush diverter, which will divert the first bit of rainfall and debris away before allowing the water into the barrel.
