You know these chickens have never even been dove at by a hawk "knock on wood". The worry here is daytime raccoons. They both really stink to have around but at least hawks don't see charging me as an option, raccoons are clearly fine with it. :(

Oh thats awful! You're right poor dear probably never saw it coming. I can't keep Polish, Silkies or bantams my flock free ranges on a fenced in acre surrounded by woods on three sides so hawk city U.S.A. basically. I have 7 hens that are much, much smaller than they're supposed to be so I worry...

Truth, hawks are most likely to prey on Polish and silkie chickens if they're going for chicken. Smaller bodied birds like game hens or bantam anythings. Hawks prefer to be able to take the kill with them if possible.
