I lost one hen right after another to hawks. The final solution was to
keep the chickens enclosed in a large run area. I then built a 2X2 frame
up above the fence posts high enough for me to pass under. Then strung
nylon clothesline every 18 inches in parallel lines above the chicken run.
The hawks were afraid to fly through the clothesline. It's the only thing
that ever worked for me. Kept the owls out at night too. Hope this helps.
The owls were worse than the hawks. And good luck having enough light at
night to get a good shot at one.

Some people report having luck mounting CD's shiny side up on poles with
enough play that they move a bit in the wind.
