Will a hawk attack a brown leghorn and a australorp

[RedJungleFowl]

I was wondering if a hawk will attack a 6 1/2 week old brown leghorn and a 8 week old australorp chicken

If hungry enough, absolutely.

Red,

What kind of hawk are you dealing with?

The red-tailed in my backyard goes after the adults. I've even had a red-tailed hawk swoop in while I was standing right there in the yard.

I have had a small female coopers hawk kill adult chickens.

Yes. I just lost a hen to a hawk or fox. Left 3 piles a feathers in different locations.

that doesnt sounds like a hawk - unless it was a small hawk that had trouble leaving with the chicken. Usually if its a hawk you will just see a circles of feathers where it hit the chicken. Raccoons seem to leave a much bigger mess.

Maybe. They will also still be small enough for crows to kill.
