I feel guilty asking the neighbours to feed our hens when we go away for a weekend. My hens free range on approx 300m of land. Does anyone know of any suitable automatic feeders for a flock of six?

No more feeding the sparrows ;-)
Buy direct from their website and save them a TM fee.
We suspended it off the ground under shelter and a full bucket lasted a week with 5 hens. But it doesn't stop the rodents and other birds helping themselves.
My friend with a couple of dozen hens has bought a "Chookateria" on Trademe. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Business-farming-industry/Farming-forestry...
She said the hens learnt to use it very quickly and the rodents aren't heavy enough to open it.
