Meat Birds and Vacation

[ourltlflock]

I want to get meat chickens, but is it possible to leave them for 3-4 days? With my layers I can just fill up the feeder and waterer and get out of town for a few days. Can I do that with meats?

How do you 'all take a vacation?

No meat birds need daily at very least food and water checks probably more like 3 time a day .

No. Not possible with meat birds.

Me and my husband are going away for a couple of days in 3 weeks. The babysitter is staying at our house for those 3 days, mostly because of the meat chickens. We are paying her extra for the fun she will have feeding the feathered pigs

I would plan any vacations outside the 8-9 weeks you would be tied to the meaties.

That's what I thought. Guess I will be getting a chicken sitter...
