    So I live in Northern NH and I have 2 NH Red Hens. they were born on April 29th 2009. I used to have a flock of 5 but 3 of them got killed and one got injured but survived.

    Ok, here's what I ended up doing.... for the feeder, I took a USPS box and put a few plastic sandwich bags full of dirt in the box and sealed it shut.
