One of my chickens was just killed (my avatar)

We use 30% shade cloth. It works very well. If you are talking about the netting that you put over fruit to keep the birds from eating it, You may just get a tangled and angry hawk tied up in it.
Check out shade cloth. You may be able to find some in the garden centers of big places like Lowes, otherwise call your local garden center, they may have some scraps that you can buy, or tell you where to find some. It was cheaper and easier than topping the run with wire. (We have a really big run.)
Good luck, and I am sorry you lost your girl. That is sad.
 
I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like it was definitely a raptor attack. I just lost a duck to the same thing. Covering your run is going to be the only solution. I have electric mesh fencing, fishing line strung every 4 feet and CDs hung everywhere, as well as some big, mean geese in the same pen. All these did not deter the hawk from killing my poor duck.

First, thanks to all for you kind words, thoughts and suggestions. CMV, we were thinking something like that too!
I'm going to start an new thread on security and will post pictures (the best I could find/need to take more) of my coop and the yard.
Thanks again!
