    how to get rid of a hawk killing my chickens

    I think if you have crows around you will have better luck with some black chickens in your flock. I have 2 Asian Blacks and the hawks don't seem to hang around as much.But as they get occassionally harassed by the crows I don't think they want to bother with something that may hassle them back.

    Huge Snake problems

    Call the local Ag extension or Dept of Natural Resources. They may know a few people that will come out and trap them. They need to go FAR away.

    supervised free-ranging - can you truly protect from hawks?

    The Crows will help. They hate hawks and hawks fear them.
