Don't know what kind of hawks you have in your area but we have Cooper's Hawks. Every Spring fledgling juvenile hawks often sit on our fence or roof or lawn furniture surveying our hens. For 9 years now I've kept pop-up canopies in the chicken yard to purposely clutter-up air space so the hawks have no open area to swoop down on unsuspecting hens before they can quickly hide. For added protection we've added 5 large dog houses and several makeshift lean-to benches and planted some dwarf trees to give the girls lots of nearby places to hide so they don't have to run in the open. Apparently hawks prefer swooping down on running prey or catch prey aerially rather than do ground-battle with prey -- so we tried to clutter-up open spaces. Even our vulnerable crested 9-yr-old 2-lb Silkie has been safe in our setting. For what it's worth here's our backyard set-up:
A 4-ft (2"x4") wire fence divides our people/garden patio from the chicken yard which has 3 pop-up canopies, 5 dog houses, and 4 makeshift lean-to benches
The largest canopy is over a 4x4 dustbath sandbox which stays dry during downpours and provides shade during heatwaves (2 small Pomegranate seedling trees at back wall are taller than the canopies now!).
3 seedling trees were planted and wire protected last year and some have reached over 7 feet this year and provide shade for the hens -- this is one of our Meyer Dwarf seedlings from last year (Cuckoo Breda hen in photo).

Some makeshift benches the hens like to snooze under (2 Dominique hens in forefront).
This 4-ft wide walkway is view from the coop run door leading to the first canopy with sandbox. The bench was erected to give the hens shade and provide hiding in the open walkway space. We use all the benches to sit and visit with the girls to feed them treats. I would've preferred having prettier purchased benches for the yard but these makeshift benches have longer measurements to provide better cover for the girls -- so I sacrificed pretty benches to have practical lean-to's.

This year some of last year's seedling trees have grown as tall as the pop-up canopies!
autocorrect does it every time! Obviously meant wattles.
