Get some black chickens to put into your flock. Black Australorps are great if you want good eggs. Hawks will think they are crows and won't mess with them.

You have the right to protect your livestock
Proving that the hawks were actively endangering your chickens could be tough
Being in the position of having to prove you were justified in killing a hawk would generally be because you were running your mouth

Where are said chickens? If you put them in a pen without a top, it's you that's murdering those chickens Baw.

Owl decoy is what I’ve heard, apparently owl decoys are used to scare off everything in the world.

You’ll just have to deal with it. Can’t stop the nature of things.

I've heard one can place a tall 4x4 wood post in middle of chicken pen. Set a steel foot trap on top of 4x4 post, and secure it to post. Hawk lands on post to survey chicken pen and is caught.
Just run said trap before neighbors wakeup in the morning.

We’ve gone from 27 down to one.
The last remaining his the former Beta. He’s now the alpha.
The day I realize the old alpha was gone, I looked at his spur and it grew a half inch since the last time.
Now he’s like 20 lb and got bright green and just walks right up to me side-eyed like::
Coyotes are our problem though.

Several years ago we had the same issue.
Bought some turkey chicks and raised w the chickens.
One turned out to be a gobbler.
He got freaken huge.
Named him skeletor.
Never had a hawk problem again
Interestingly, he hated men.
Loved women.
Always was an adventure when he was around.

It will be a lot easier to build a pen for your chickens. You're never going to kill all the hawks, owls, foxes, raccoons, possums, cats, dogs, coyotes, mink, weasels, bobcats etc. that will show up for the easy pickings of free range chickens. You most likely have already had multiple animals killing your chickens, and just killing one will do nothing but open of a space for a new one to move in.

If its killing your livestock, kill it.

First thing you do is ask the question a public chat forum just like you did, then after you shoot the hawks come back with photo verification and we will let you know the next course of action.
