Coop and run capable of leaving for a 7day vacation?13 chickens

Yes this is possible to create a set up where you can leave them for a week.
My coop is big and pred proof.
I have 15 chickens. My feeders hold 60 pounds of food and there is 25 gallons of water available. I could leave for two weeks if I had to. I have evscuated for a fire for 9 days before.
I would not hesitate for a minute to leave for a week.
Something could go wrong, but it has not.

If I had no other choice, my setup could probably go a week without monitoring. I have automatic water system and automatic door. Full feeder lasts close to a week on average for my 13 chickens. I would definitely need a roll away egg collection system though, they'd pile up and likely get some breakages and eating.

x2, if I added an extra waterer and feeder as back up I could probably be gone for close to a week without issue. The main drawback is eggs still need to be picked up (though I suppose if I traveled in late fall through early spring, eggs wouldn't be much of an issue.)
