We found someone to only get the eggs for our chickens, i’ll try to convince her to check the waters day by day and refill if all are empty, i’m going to the store to buy more 5 gallons!!A lot more water. I have 8 birds and they go through 5 gallons every 2 to 3 days. Depending on weather.
I read some where that chickens drink the same amount of water in a day as 20 lbs dog about 2 pints a day per bird that’s 20 pints a day. 40 pints equals 5 gallons. June 29 to July 30 that’s 4 weeks. Run the math from there. But err on more of everything!
I do agree with KH. That’s a long time to go without someone checking your birds. Try to find a sitter. Or maybe a neighbour who won’t mind peeking in on them?
Hope that’s helpful. And safe travels.
