I have 6 3-week-old chicks that are currently housed in a spare bedroom, indoors in a brooder. I have to go away for 2 nights for work. Is it safe to leave them for this time? The chicks will be 4 weeks old when I have to go away, if that makes a difference.
I have a hanging quart waterer with chicken nipple (would probably last them a week but I change it every other day) and I usually only fill up their feeder every 4-5 days.
Besides just hanging out with them for my own enjoyment, they don’t seem to need that much daily maintenance. Is it ok to leave them? Or is it too risky?
