Most chicken hawks (based on what I've read & seen) don't kill chickens, they are more apt to eat one that's already dead. But we had a chicken hawk that stayed by our coop when we were growing up. Not sure if it ever killed in. But our landlord's dogs loved having fresh chicken on a regular basis. Hubby killed the first one because he ran off with our oldest rooster right in front of our kids, the youngest was devastated. Between the coyotes & the landlords son & a car the others routinely disappeared. Thankfully the landlady quit getting dogs. They never did anything with them. Barely fed them & then wondered why they'd wonder off & get caught by the coyotes. But back to the Original topic on this....... I hope the original poster (sorry I forget who) will explain by what they meant by the Hawk Sign's. I don't know if they mean "seeing" a hawk or if its showing up at a certain time & suppose to have a meaning?

I think it killed the chicken but it never got it. Joyce Gaston Reece
