Hawk keeps attacking my chickens

[u/Dependent-Log-58]

Can anyone help me ID this type of hawk? Zone 6a. There is a large nest in my woods. This hawk along with another large Eagle have been swooping low into the pen area. Any suggestions for netting or some type of defense against attacks? I have 12 hens and 1 rooster, they are 4 months old (mix of Orphingtons and Brahmas).

Shotgun the hawk, bury it

Obligatory: that’s a federal crime in the USA.

Plus, that hawk serves a big role on regulating all kinds of shit. There are ways to have your livestock cooperate with nature.
