My vote would be with the hawk. Billy may be a bad a$$ but the hawk is MR BAD A$$. Between that razor sharp beak and those talons he has the advantage. He also has the advantage of agility.
We are currently having a problem with several hawks who harass my free ranging chickens. What the roosters seem to be good for is an early warning system that sends everyone scattering for cover. So far the only thing they have gotten has been a few doves that hang out around my feeders.
