Henergy Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Normally when we go away I leave my chickens at the chicken sitters. However, this time we are only going away for a weekend so it seems a bit of a faff. I am thinking of leaving them in the Cube with the run door closed so no garden access and leaving the pop door open at all times. Then asking a neighbour to check once a day on food & water and to take eggs away. Does that seem reasonable or is it a bit neglectful ? We will be leaving on a fri am and home by the monday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandwhite Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes I did this in my last house where I had a lovely neighbour who was more than happy to just check on them once or twice over the weekend. They were fine and I let them keep eggs in thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have done this in the past and they have been absolutely fine. They will grumble at you when you get home but they soon get over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I regularly need to leave my chucks from Saturday early morning until Sunday afternoon. I leave them with free access to the Cube and run, plenty of food and lots of water and they are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
