What daily schedule do you need to maintain for healthy happy chickens?

So i convinced my family to get chickens, on the condition that I take care of them most of the time. I live fairly close to my family so I will be able to come by every day, however I won’t be able to come by until around 10:30/11am. They’re going to have an automatic coop door so I’m not concerned about them getting let out. My main concern is will it affect the chickens if eggs aren’t collected first thing in the morning and if their water is not refreshed first thing in the morning? I plan to have those feeders and water tanks that can be filled with a large amount of feed/water so that I don’t have to worry if they’re empty or not each morning. This may be a dumb question so apologies in advance it if it. I just want to make sure these chickens have the happiest and healthiest lives I can give them and don’t want to overlook anything.
