Leaving chickens alone

[camaro2016]

I'm going away for 4 days. I have 2 five year old chickens left. If I move the chickens into an enclosed area in the garage, with plenty of food and water and bedding, would this mess their behavior? I don't have anyone to watch them or make sure they are locked up at night. If they stay in the garage, I know they will be safe until we get home.

You don’t say if they will have any light ?
I think I would really try to keep them in the day/night routine but, to be honest, four days should be okay for them I would say. They won’t be very happy with their sudden discomfort but they will cope I would think.
And think how pleased they will be to see you return (with a little treat )

There is plenty of windows in our garage. I just didn't want to worry about them, if someone doesn't lock them up correctly

I thought I'd do it, only if a window is available. Good luck.
