left for 8 days

i could run it on battery but where i live power doesn’t go out more than a few times a year for more than a few hours.

I’m guessing you don’t live in...Texas

I dont get it. I live in Texas. Why would this not work here?

Pretty sure Cyra is making a crack about the massive Texas power outage this winter that lasted more than a week in some places.

As per the OP, he would definitely need to run his coop on battery power if he lived in Texas.

That makes more sense than my assumption

I have left my flock, about a dozen birds for 9 days before. When everything is topped off the 4 feeders, 4" pipe screwed to wall dumping into rubber feed bowls, hold 60 pounds of feed. I have multiple waterers and they hold 25 gallons total. I could go 2 weeks without topping off feed and water.

The eggs were not collected the entire 9 days (I was evacuated for a fire so neighbors were gone too) I could improve my roll out design to hold more eggs out of reach some were eaten.

I leave them alone a week at a time a couple times a year. Something could go wrong, but it has not.

I figured. Just don't understand why people think it's funny that I had to pile all 6 of my kids into my bed with my husband and I under 4 layers of blankets to try and keep warm. Or that I had to have my heart break hearing my 2 year old tell me she's cold. But sure...haha
