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

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.

My opinion is, if a hawk was raised with a chicken, instinct would eventually kick in, it would realize it was a hawk and eat the chicken.

Since hawks will eat each other if they get hungry, it wouldn't matter if it was raised with chickens or not.

I think instinct would win out.

No wonder Timmy was always in trouble. Good thing Lassie was there to bail him out every time!
