Well, due to the typical inpurities in tap water, I imagine that it will be nearly 100% ionic. The downside is that it will likely be sensitive to the light, primarily UV. This could cause argyria in the chickens, but there really isn't much exposed skin, so I don't see this being a problem either. Exposure of the water to sunlight would also cause some aggregation and probably plating out of silver onto the surface of the feeder. It would make it gray or black, but otherwise should not be a problem.
Just don't let the FDA know. They found out that cattle and dairy farmers were using CS with the cows and thus stopped using all the expensive drugs, so apparently at the request of the drug companies, they stepped in and outlawed it.
