[QUOTE="Allen, post: 130934, member: 389"] I can easily leave mine for 4 days at a time with no issues. Once I get to being gone for 5 or more days, I have a friend come out to check on them and take the eggs. I just don't like leaving the eggs in the henhouse for that long. Prefer 1-2 days, but have no real issue with 3 days unless it's really hot out. Then they get kind of watery. They will die on day 3 without food and water, so you need to make sure what you put out for them will take them well past the time you are going to be gone. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Jersey Giants and Americana's are also good birds that lay large eggs. Gentle, unless you are a stray mouse or garter snake. KDM nailed it when he called them velociraptors, let's just say we are all damn lucky there aren't 8 ft tall chickens in them there woods! Chinese silkies are about the most gentle little freaks of nature around, but they also lay really small eggs. I have also had Wyandotte(s). Skittish bitches! May not have the best socialization, but the Jerseys and Americana varieties just seem less nervous. [/QUOTE]
