I have a free range flock of now only 7 adults and a new momma with 5 two week old chicks (hawk got one already). We are locking her in a chicken tractor today to keep her and babies safe but the hawk has already gotten two other adults in my flock in the last 24 hours!! And it didn’t eat either one, I just found them dead with no obvious trauma except broken necks. Is there anything I can do to deter or get rid of this hawk?? I’m worried I’ll lose my whole flock!!!! Thank you!

I have a red tail hawk and vultures now flying over my yard. Starting to worry me . I will shoot them.I wasn’t sure. Thought maybe a Cooper’s hawk, a Merlin, very common around here, or a Peri Falcon. Thank you!
where are you located? certain vultures are protected in the USA. there are alternative solutions to shooting a predatory bird.I have a red tail hawk and vultures now flying over my yard. Starting to worry me . I will shoot them.
