Build a large chicken tractor that is easy to move around the yard so they can still scratch and forage but won't be snatched up by a hawk.
I know it's more of a hassle than free ranging, but it's worth it. no losses and piece of mind.
it's illegal to kill or trap a hawk, they are protected...lord knows why...they're everywhere it seems like.
Or as someone mentioned get a large LGD, which is a whole other feat training the dog.
Choice is yours..but nothing will keep a hunting hawk away from your property.
