REALLY?? That stinks. I knew it was illegal to actually shoot one, but to disturb one?? Seriously?? That just stinks!! Who comes up with these rules anyway?? LOL I could do without all this governmental regulations - a predator is a predator - a threat to my livestock is a threat to my livelihood - even if we don't profit from our chickens. <sigh> I need my own island where I am ruler of all then (okay, second to my DH)...LOL Okay, off my soapbox now to go hide.Bhep, you can't shut down yet! I just picked up 2 1/2 dozen of golden lakenvelder eggs that I need you to hatch for me, PLEASE
NH with them type of birds it's illegal to disturb or harrass or even try to move. So remove the food like you plan till the bird moves on. Good luck
Since birds of prey are federally protected, disposing of a hawk is not the best idea. I use hides for my chickens ... something they can run under and hide from flying predators. Sometimes you can discourage the hawks by using distractors. At this time of year it might be a juvenile, although if it's able to take down a rabbit or squirrel, I would wonder why it doesn't get the hen and instead takes small chicks that are no more than a scooby-snack. However, for some birds, distractors such as tying plastic bags on bushes and trees so they are flapping about work well. Their focus is divided as they need to track movements. Often things like this will make them move on to other hunting grounds.

Quote: Local law can not supercede federal law. You can kill any non protected species and anyones pet that kills your livestock, but you can not kill a protected species. Unfortunately, most local "officials" are less familiar with federal law than local law. And this is beyond federal law; this is an international treaty. Any local "official" stating that you can kill a protected species for any reason other than immediate personal danger should be reported.
