Yes, the hawks eat the snakes!

Shoot them. The hawk not the chicken. Once they get a taste of your chickens they just keep coming back.

Chickens can fly. Not as well as hawks and not for prolonged distance or height but they can and do when threatened. Body density, weight verses wingspan determine the lift any bird can achieve. Most domestic chickens have no need for flight and are often clipped when young to reduce flight feathers.
it depends if you keep them in a safe environment free range chickens tend to meet predators sometimes but since they have been outside in the wild most free range chickens will protect themselves home raised chickens tend to be on a hawk's menu.because the chickens have a limited area to run away they die easily. to protect the backyard chickens watch them and if a cat or hawk comes scare it away (when your chickens chirp a lot and are running/predators are around),or put them in a large enclosure with a net ceiling that way hawks can catch them,also baby chickens should be in a chicken cage/house they tend to die more then adult chickens(every ting to them is new) (watch younger chickens/prime target) (adult chickens need safety too even though they are more experienced)
No. Hawks are hawks and vultures are vultures.
