Good luck on trying to keep their water pure. I used to watch the antics of mine to defeat every instance of my trying to keep then from "flavoring" their water........can't believe a chicken follows the pig in the pecking order.
What took the cake was that I installed a demand bowl on the side of a pen support post, high enough to be at snout level....snout has to push the lever to get the bowl to fill. No joke, one day I was headed out there and a sow had backed up to it, straddled it and let loose. That was it. Off to the sale they went.
I fed Farley's Show Gilt 100% Corn ration. Once I thought I'd switch to Milo and couldn't believe the difference in the meat. May have been the oil in the Corn.
