I also free range all day, and have a hawk living in my neighbor's tree next door .the hawk has made a couple of swoops but the chickens have always gotten under cover. I also have a dog that sometimes alerts and barks when the Hawk shows up. I accept the fact I might lose some chickens but my girls are very unhappy being locked up in the run all day. Once they taste free range they are spoiled. Just make sure you have something for them to run under, like a patio umbrella, bushes. Mine have an old day bed that my Great Dane likes to sleep on.
