Actually it is put in many processed foods. If you want to split hairs even water will kill you if you drink enough of it but most people consider that non toxic too.
It would only go into the drinking water in the unlikely event of a failure, and if it did it would not make them sick. So its not an issue.
how much water in ballast? instruction says to fill to fill line, but nothing is labelled as fill line.Hello Community!
We have 8 hens in a chicken tractor here in Long Island, NY. We use the Plasson Broiler Drinker. According to the instructions, we are to add antifreeze to the ballast bottle. Since starting with the hens in March of this year, we have used water in the ballast bottle. Now that it is getting cold, we want to follow the instructions so that the ballast bottle does not crack from the freezing water. The ballast bottle acts independently of the bell and regulates the valve mechanism as to how much water should be let into the bell drinker from the bucket positioned above it.
- Has anyone used the Plasson Broiler Drinker? Have you added antifreeze?
- While the ballast bottle is strong plastic and is sealed with the screw cap, have you ever experiencing any leaking and birds getting sick?
- Do you use antifreeze/coolant? If so, which brand has worked for you?
- Has anyone tried to use just windshield wiper fluid that has anti-freezing capabilities?
Thanks for any feedback!
