Commonly installed as part of ornamental water feature with a little fountain, it is wonderful to watch the fog coming out like smoke over water.

Well, just like to add a word of caution here. I studied its use about 2 years back and decided it is not a good practice.
Why?
Such devices use ultra-sonic transducer that vibrates at around 1MHz! It is the finest fog generating machine, sounds good & I like it initially from that perspective!

Did you know it can pose some health hazard?
Studies by U.S. health authorities had shown that such devices eject fine particles (mineral impurities & bacterias) contained in water into the air as well!
One needs very pure water for its safe use - just take note of this.
Otherwise you may introduce bacterias into your bird house atmosphere unwittingly & unnecessarily.
Suits one of my favorite axioms: Half knowledge can be dangerous!

wouldn't the chicken farm humidifier spew out the same?
Not exactly. The size of water droplets differ significantly.
Sure, only that the chicken farm humidifier has a wider size range.
As long as water does not puddle it has evaporated !
