I live in an area where hawks are . . . abundant. We are trying to design our run and are really wanting to avoid netting the top if possible. We'd like to do some pasture rotating and so the fence line will be changing often. Many sources I'm seeing say to just offer a place where the chickens can run and take cover. Is this really adequate? Will a hawk really not follow them under the cover and get them anyway? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something in regard to hawk behavior. Someone let me know if this method has actually worked for you and give me hope, because it seems like the best option for our space if it is indeed reliable.
