Is this hawk poop?

It is a fungus. I am seeing similar in areas with lots of dew. Hawk crap would be splattered on ground as well.

Could this be Red-Tailed Hawk poop?

ETA: I was saving this for you @casportpony !

Wonders if the adjacent chicken poop has anything to do with it?

Maybe!

Did you have chickens for those 14 years? Maybe you just weren't as observant before chickens?

This crossed my mind too.
