I have hawks in my yard, usually my chickens hear them and run into the brush for cover. I know when the hawks are close because all their heads come up and usually one chicken will call to the others to hide. I used chicken wire to completely seal the top of my pen so they wouldn't have an easy snack. So far I haven't lost any to the hawks, only the fox & raccoons...but my husband took care of those predators this summer. Now we are tracking a coyote and hoping it doesn't think a chicken dinner would be nice.
