We are in the country and have hawk nests on our and the neighbors places. Have owls too. When we built our coops we knew this and put hardware cloth overhead so the generous run is completely enclosed. We let them out to free range but only supervised. When the hawks are aloft the crows and jays let us know and we gather them together close to us. We have had a few swoop down but our presence had them abruptly change course.
