I just started my first flock, they are about 4 weeks old. If we go on vacation, or even just Leave for a weekend, what Preparations should I do before I Were to leave?
Obviously enough food and water, but what about eggs? Should I have someone collect them? Our let them hatch (I have a rooster so they will be fertile, or mostly) what about being confined in the coop, I don't want to leave the door open, for critters to find my chicks, but I wouldn't want them to Be "cooped up" either. I have no plans to leave right now, but I'm sure someday we will want to, i just want to be prepared.
