A few days ago I interrupted a young Harris' hawk feasting on a dove in our oleander. This morning I heard a huge commotion among the chickens and I ran out to see what was happening and there was a Harris' hawk (probably the same one) perched on a box about 3' from the hens, who were in hysterics.

What do you all use as hawk deterrents?

I've had those cooper hawks around before and just chased them off. One time I seen 3 of them flying around over here at the same time. All you can really do is to make sure that your coop and run is as predator proof as you can make it on top, bottom, and sides.
