Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore. You can buy huge poutry nettting covering huge runs on Amazon.

Welcome! If you have any Ravens or Crows you can rest assured the hawks are being chased off. Good Luck and keep us posted!

Get yourself a couple black chickens to add to your flock. Supposedly they look like crows and will make hawks think twice according to what I've read.

Hello Joyce and Dan, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I successfully run my flock of 25 in a 1/3 acre pen with 2 roosters on the look out and lots of cover. I've had 1 loss to a hawk in 4.5 years and they fly over daily, often multiple times. The key is not only the early warning system but lots of good cover. My birds have learned over the years to be watchful and know where the nearest cover is.
