Not sure which forum is best for this question, but hopefully this is the right one.
I have 4 girls who I absolutely adore...especially one in particular. Anyway, I am worried about leaving them when I travel. I have no real reason to, but I wanted your encouragement or any advice you can give me. I have had them since August. One is laying. Another is close. The other two might be awhile. We are traveling out of state for 1 week in Nov and about 10 days in Dec. The girls "free range" in my tiny back yard. They have never tried to escape. No daytime predator problems...at least foreseeable ones. They are let out in the morning and put away at night. They have a large food bin and waterer. I visit with them several times a day just to say hi and give them a few treats or something.
My neighbor can let them in and out and collect eggs. She can also check the food and water to make sure it doesn't run out and to refresh it a couple times while we're away.
Is there any reason to worry?
