That is awesome! My yard roo, Harley challenged a hawk a few weeks ago. I watched it happen,yet everyone seems to think that it is impossible. He has earned a permenent place in our barnyard!
Good to hear positive roo stories....

I love hawks!! So I feel bad for the hawk but I still think that Smoke should be put in a throne

Never lost a chicken to a hawk so don't hate them, but I hate ravens, lost about 20 chickens over all to a single raven. Gratz to you though, 1 less hawk to be eating chickens, you know what type it was?

Ahh, gotcha. I am guessing you aren't in the United States, then. Here, even if a bird of prey is killed during an attack on livestock, you get slapped with a 10K+ fine. Protection is protection regardless of what the bird was doing.

I don't hate hawks either. There are just doing what comes naturally.

You may be right about the birds of prey. In this case, my rooster killed him so I am not worried about it. I am in Florida and know gators can be killed if they are in the process of killing livestock, but you better report it.

good rooster you got. My Roosters run to the coup faster than the hens do, when they spot a hawk.
