Wanna went out for 2 days:how to feed my folk?

[Aliamelody]

I wanna go out for two days in this weekend
But i dont know how to leave enough food and water for my chickens
Any advice?

How many chickens do you have? How big is your coop? Is there a run attached? How are you feeding them now?

Water is your big concern. Make sure you have enough water, and in no way can it be tipped over, leaving them without.

Normally, I only feed enough for each day. But if I am going to be gone, I set up a automatic feeder, or just put out extra.

Just leave two days worth of food and water or you could ask a neighbor to call in on a morning/evening to make sure everything is okay. Let them keep some of those days eggs, it’s only fair.

If your current feeders and water is just enough for one day then either buy another food/water dispenser or use a couple of plastic containers or something similar.

they are 2 ducklings and two chickens
coop is 2 meters long and half a foot wide
but i keep one of my chickens in the little cage
because my another one hit him
i feed them with chicken seed good quality.every morning and evening is enough to start quacking and say they are hungry

It would be better to have extra feed since they can leave it if they aren’t hungry. If it’s just a one off event they shouldn’t mind.

Not too many, great! That makes it easier. A few bowls with extra feed should be okay. As for water you can make an extra waterer with empty milk gallons or get a pet gravity waterer from Walmart. That way both the ducks and the chickens can enjoy it. It doesn't have to be this specific one, any of them would do.

Best thing would be to have a neighbor, family member or friend come and check the food and water and fill it if it is needed.
