I had an inquiry from a chicken farmer in the Philippines for a CS maker
a while back. He has 20,000 birds.
What I suggested:
The Philippines are a hot place.
Mist cools things, like birds, off.
CS quality isn't a huge concern with fowl and bird farmers are rarely
rich...so..
Get an old [or new] toilet tank, hang a large sheet of silver and a sheet
of stainless steel in it for electrodes.
Car batteries or a charger for DC power.
Install a spigot for an outlet to a bucket with a sump pump in it. [Pump
cycles periodically as CS water level gets high enough in the bucket]
Pump pressurizes the mist system with a bleed off spigot to fill drinking
water trough.
How far the spigot is opened regulates PPM [if too much flow, lower the
voltage and reduce output flow rate ..don't want constantly 'wet' birds...3
to 5 PPM is plenty, maybe even 1 PPM]
Toilet tank valve regulates input water level.
Use the best water possible, but don't worry too much about that. [Cistern?]
Cistern. [My "Boonies" water system and shaded hangout for several
years...300 gallons capacity...easily expanded, cheap and scrounged parts]
Pick a high spot for gravity feed. Tie large tarp corners to vertical
supports and let it droop over an open top tank in the middle
underneath...screen wire over the tank opening. Overflow can go to other
tanks. [Setup also acts as dew collector]
Cut hole in lowest portion of tarp and let it rain.
Birds get cooled off, are automatically sterilized on the outside
periodically, entire environment gets sterilized and birds get CS drinking
water for the insides.
..and the whole thing shouldn't cost more than a few 100 bucks.

As to the bird flu, I`d like to know why on the TV news they show
people (in foreign places) killing off
ALL the useful fowl (chickens, ducks, geese) in an area, when in a real
epidemic some will survive to breed,
thus making that species stronger. Killing them all off is not the answer.
They also show people spraying some sort of antibiotic spray stuff around
where the birds are
in an attempt to kill off the virus, which is really weird, as sprays
can`t kill viruses.
(WE know what can kill off viruses, don`t we???)
I actually do use CS in my birds` water occasionally. It stopped a die-off
a few months ago. (I raise finches.)
Any thoughts???
