We have Turkey vultures, an occasional bald eagle, and a persistent falcon visit the property. Our chickens are in an enclosed coop/run and are supervised while out free ranging, nevertheless this falcon continues to hang around and has made a couple of passes at the flock. Any advice on dealing with it because it apparently would be a national disaster to dispatch it to falcon heaven.
 
You might google to see if that kind of falcon is migratory. If it is, keep your chickens confined until it moves on. If it is a resident, maybe you could install a net over your chicken run to keep them safe. Good luck!

Over the years we would see this/a hawk from time to time (we didn’t have chickens until recently). Anyway, as stated in the beginning we do not let them free range without one of us being outside to supervise. We have no idea as to whether this is the same hawk from years past or not but either way the advent of chickens has it hanging around a bit more. The coop and run are enclosed so the hawk can’t get them there but it will do a periodic fly by of sorts when we’re out with the chickens. It doesn’t get close but it does let us know it’s around.
