Question! I’m a newbie chicken owner and didn’t even think about them when I booked a hotel for a night out of town. We will be gone for basically 2 days. I have 8 chickens that will be 10 weeks old by then. How do you go about traveling once you had chickens? Would they be ok if I left them in their coop for that duration as long as they had plenty of water and food? Or do I need them to be able to go out in their run during the day still? I’m wondering if I could just put a lock in the outside of the run and let them go in and out of their coop? My husband needs to predator proof the bottom of the run prior but other than that would it be safe to let them go in and out of their coop as they please? I have automatic feeders and waterers in the run and also have food and water I can put in their coop too. They are really good about going into their coop at night. But the coop size is 5x5’ and the run is 5x16’
