How long before they starve and/or die of thirst?

It's cold out, and there's too much snow, and it's too early in the morning! Is it possible that I could stay here in this warm house and not go out to the barn to feed and water the chickens for at least a month. Would they still be okay?

Oh, I don't know. They might start eating one another and then at the end of a month you'll have one or 2 6' chickens to answer to. Not worth the risk, if you ask me.

My girls in their nice insulated, heated house, had the nerve to talk back to me. I knew they would have food and water, but wanted to get my eggs before they got cold. I told them , THERE HAD BETTER BE EGGS !!! I braved the cold and wind for 2 EGGS !!! Bad girls !!

Yep, they're bad and unappreciative. What makes it really infuriating though is their knowing it and not caring.
