If hawks were raised with chickens, would they get along? Or would the hunting instinct take the hawk over?

Interesting thought. If the hawks were newly hatched and the eyes still closed and then raised with chickens, I think it would imprint on the chickens and not view them as food. Have you ever asked this question online? I will now; inquiring mind want to know.

So I typed in the question and...your post came up.
