Water fluoridation

edited July 2011 in Incubation & Hatching
HI Guys

The Eu issued a statement saying Irish tap water was unsafe to prepare infant formula with!

As a matter of interest only USA and Ireland add Fluoride to water as its supposed to be good for our teeth.
Fluoride from what i gather however is not all that good to ingest. (Now the chicken part)

I have just started a half dozen Golden Brahma egg off today. I intend to use only Ballygowan still water to fill the incubator reservoir.
I wonder will it have any effect ? what do you reckon ?

Regards thelord

    Checked the eggs today seems one is infertile the yolk is still dead center. Not even a week gone and down a chick already :{.

    I don't see how fluoride would get from water in the incubator reservoirs to inside the egg and the chick within, you're probably a bit overcautious there, but no harm anyway.
    Good luck with the hatch. :D

    Only seven days to go. The Five remaining eggs look good I removed the sixth as it was a none runner.
