I was told that a black turkey will keeps hawks away. The hens look like a bussard so the hawks don't come near.
I know that a red-tailed hawk came right down in front of me to try and take a one of my 4 month old cuckoo marans hens. I was 10 feet away. He couldn't lift her but I would guess he weighed more than 3 lbs. looked more like 5 to me, but I'm no expert. He was going to sit right there and kill her, lucky I was right there to scare him off.
I'm getting a few black turkey hens to see if it works.
