Increased Storage Capacity within Turkey Coops

Suggestion:
Increase the amount of feed storage within the turkey coop to allow for extended leave from the game without the loss or breed turkeys.
Problem:
Recently I went on a small holiday, approximately 4 days. Before leaving I filled the turkey coop directly before my departure. Upon return every turkey within my coop was dead. The storage capacity should be increased to allow a full feed bar to feed a full turkey coop for a week. Returning and seeing my weeks of work gone simply cause i took a break of 4 days turned me away from the game.
I understand that there must be a limit, but many of your players will take leave from your game for short periods of time and the majority of your players are hermits, with no one to preform maintenance within these hermitages. I am also not suggesting reducing the consumption of the feed by turkeys, as I find that level of consumption reasonable.

Yes this is a solution but I shouldn't need to. It is a restrictive alternative due to the cost of both space and resources (as a hermit). In a real coop, the farmer would just dump a large amount of feed into the coop before leaving.

making more coops would prolly be the best solution if you don't have someone you can trust. It would also net you more turkeys in the long run.

In a real coop, a farmer wouldn't leave a coop full of turkeys for 4 days. The obvious solution here is to cull the flock and/or spread them out in more coops. Don't coops hold something like 200 units of feed?

Thank you both for your suggestions. I understand that it is a possible solution.
However, as this is the place for suggestions I will continue advocating for the increase in the amount of feed the coop can hold.
It isn't a large change and would allow players a little more freedom.

I remember and know there is little chance.
However, I make the attempt.
#Note: Not looking for a stupid amount of time, or less resources to fill. Just larger storage.

I believe a truly "full" coop in HnH (16 birds, full feed trough) would keep the birds fed about a day and a half. It's a design decision that seriously penalizes hermits. The only option they have is to make it go into what I call "vacation mode": get some dead "eggs" that won't hatch under the hens so that any laid won't hatch. Keep only a couple of birds per coop, and the feed will last a week or so.
There is no penalty to increasing the trough size and will make the solo game easier to manage. Why not do this now as it's an easy fix? Just change one constant (well, probably a bit more involved than that, but it could well be that simple, too).

All game design that forces the player to log in to the game every X hours should be removed from the game. It doesn't add to difficulty at all while it severly hurts hermits.
