Can i go away for the weekend and leave 2wk old chicks on their own??

Obviously, would make sure they had plenty of food water and warmth.

If they are in a brooder, I agree with Aggy, My meat chicks are 4 weeks old now, and I wouldn't even leave them for a whole day!  But even under a broody hen, I don't think I'd leave them for a weekend.  Don't you have anyone who can look after them for you?
