Sulfur water, and a few other questions

[hippiechickadee]

I have well water (which happens to be sulfur water), will the chickens care? If anyone thought it would be a problem I can most certainly use tap water from inside the house, didn't know if anyone else had experience.

Besides that, I was curious that if I did go the sulfur route, if I should start that with the chicks right away (they will be in the house for a few weeks in their brooder).

Last water questions, I swear!

I was thinking it would be easier to just have a water bowl that I could pick up and rinse out often and refill as it gets dirty. Is there a reason I shouldn't go that route? I know they will knock it over, kick dirt into it etc. but I can check on it often throughout the day. Just curious if there is a reason to use a bigger better water "system" then a bowl. I'm completely a newbie so I would like to learn everything I can.

I use sulfur water. It makes the water gross though. I have metal waterers. I have to dump the tray off every day. That's just my experience though

I use suffer water, but the water dispensers need to be plastic or the suffer will eat through it. None of my animals (including birds) have been harmed from my well water (sulfer)

Sulfer water is benificial to everything that drinks it, it helps repel fleas,ticks, mites, and best of all misqutoes
