Yes, I agree, it takes time to bond with your chickens, and it is not always a smooth ride, but with consistent effort, you will get there and it will all be worthwhile ..
I have a rooster flock living on the farm. We only stay on the farm occasionally, so the roosters are by themselves often. The longest is about a few hours short of a week.
We have 3-4 feed stations for 4 of them, 2-3 water places, using strong steel mesh on the inside and timber on the outside...
