I feel like I’m either on here asking questions or MIA we were suppose to get our flock on December 1st but there’s been some hiccups along the way with fencing and now the well we were planing to use for watering the sheep.
We had the well water tested and it came back negative for E. coli out there is Coliform bacteria present. Everything I am finding online is confusing me even more. Some sites are showing it’s safe for animals and only harmful to humans, others say to neither. We were told to put bleach down the well and let it sit for 24 hours and then purge that water out. However, we don’t have a place to let the water run off without it being on plants that the sheep would be grazing on. Ughhh… if anyone is knowledgeable please help I want to clarify that we well water DOES NOT come up to the house. It’s just outside and we run the water with a hose.
We have an old brick well.
