Does anyone not have issues with hawks?

I have lots of Cooper Hawks around my house. I have tops on my Chicken Runs so I don’t worry about it. I like having them here they keep the rodents down. I don’t bother them and they don’t bother me.

You're underestimating the intelligence of birds. Avians are able to easily distinguish a worm from a snake. Is it possible that you can record a video of the hawks foraging with the chickens?

Why? Because you dont believe they eat worms?

I never said I don't believe that. You showed me pictures of them eating worms, it must be a thing they do as a substitute for other food sources. But what you said underestimates the intelligence of birds: "They're not able to tell the difference."

I notice more hawks after a rain, as well. My guess was that field mice were running around due to their homes being flooded, as the neighborhood feral cats were busy hunting too.

We have hawks, alot of them. No problem though do to my chickens stay in a covered run.

I have no hawk issues. There's enough plants around here that my chickens are always close to cover
