I only have four birds - we're pretty close with our neighbours so trust them to take care of the chooks. They have chickens themselves, so it's no bother just to chuck a bit of feed over the fence while they're out in their garden.
We can't go on holiday much, just the odd few days away over Christmas or Easter break.

My hens lay in a corner of the coop behind one of the nestboxes - I think they got tired of laying in them. They're always changing nesting hideouts, in the summer when the weather is good they'll disappear inside some bush goodness knows where!
The only way we get to fix it is to change the water every day, I guess it's the only way it works. We have quite a deep water container so it usually lasts a day or two at the most.
