Should not have an adverse effect at all.

I dont think it will have any effect on your chicken.

Soft water does have sodium salts to replace the hard water salts and is not reccommended for driinking. However, the small amount f salt will not hurt your process.

When we scald chickens we add salt to the water so I can’t see any reason not to use soft water. Good luck and happy plucking!!
