Chickens drinking sewage water!!!

Testing your eggs is an option but I don't know who offers this service or what it would cost. Our run was built over top of our drainage field because we're hooking up to city service soon .

Pharmaceuticals and cleaners remain in a septic system for years and make leaking septic tanks dangerous and unfit for animals to drink from. Its not just human waste the chickens were drinking.
