I am in NC and since our drought seems to continue--I am trying to be a water saver even though we have a great well (knock on wood,
). I have been thinking about rain water collection for the coop.. Would it be safe to give the birds? The coop will have a metal roof, gutters and downspout into a collection barrel with a hose attached. If mosquitoes are a problem, I could drop a goldfish or other lavra eating fish into the barrel??? Any opinions, ideas, notes, anyone else use rain water for your birds??? Thank you Dixie
