In the Brooder
After losing over 18 chickens to hawks, raccoons, and foxes - I decided drop some coin into electrified netting, as well as heavy gauge overhead netting to enclose my coop.
Outside of my coop, I made a fenced in area from the 5' rolls of black plastic netting from Tractor Supply (which is light and very strong), and let them out to graze only when I am out there with them.
I live in Newnan just outside of Atlanta, and hawks and predators are everywhere. I would recommend keeping them locked up in a secure coop and only letting them out when you can keep an eye on them. I think that is going to be your best bet at keeping them alive.
