That sucks, how did you stop the hawk,
we haven't lost any yet but we haven't had them for very long, or fencing on the outside has a roof and weve got chicken wire under ground, we just haven't been tested by a fox yet so fingers crossed
Wow! That sounds like a really great bunch of choocks have fun with the new ones, I only have personal experience with silkies from your list but know it'll be great.
As for my girls and boy I have:
3x silkies (1 male 2 female)
2x Rhode Island reds
2x light Sussex
1x Australorp
2x faverolles...
