Mostly. I ended up having to process those cornish crosses the next day (not a big loss, that's what they were there for) because in their panic they beat their wings on the walls so hard they were bruised and broken. The hawk itself didn't actually do any real damage to them aside from a couple minor surface level nicks and cuts, they did it all to themselves.
My killer dog also tried to eat the hawk through the chicken wire 'cause she came out with me when I first woke up. She's a bit of a monster herself. I had to wait for her to get dragged back indoors by my partner before I could let the birds loose and that's when I snapped the picture.
It was a very chaotic morning that nobody was happy with, not me the hawk or the chickens! But it sure does make for a good story!
