We've lost more chickens to hawks this year than we ever have before. At lease one, if not both roosters were taken by the hawk, plus 10 or more hens. It's been a problem...I think you just don't want to remember it
The netting that Old Gardener linked to is what I had in mind. Although moving the yard from it's current location (practically right under the tree line) will help quite a bit.
I hope.
