Turkey vulture are only interested in food items that do not move, run away or fight back. So if you have a dead or near dead chicken in the yard , this will attract the vulture. But turkey vultures do not take healthy running chickens the way a hawk or falcon will.
Depends on where you live and the laws. You cannot kill a protected species. You must solve your problem some other way if the hawk is protected. Erecting a bird net over your chickens might be the only solution. Making the hawk uncomfortable while searching for his meal in your yard with a well trained dog is another. People who experience raptor damage problems often decide to resort to "Frustration killings". These occur far too often because landowners are unfamiliar with or unable to control damage with nonlethal control techniques. These killings result in the needless loss of raptors, and they may lead to undesirable legal actions. Individuals may be fined up to $5,000 and $10,000 respectively, and those convicted may face up to six months imprisonment for misdemeanor violations of the Act. Felony violations may result in fines of up to $25,000 for individuals and up to two years imprisonment for those convicted.
If trapping or shooting is necessary, Both Federal and local state permits should be requested and processed as quickly as possible. Always consider the benefits that raptors provide before removing them from an area; their ecological importance, aesthetic value, and contributions as indicators of environmental health may outweigh the small economic damage they cause.

No, You cannot kill a hawk leagally for any reason.
yes
u might want to rethink that killing a hawk can lead to fines and jail time
Yes put the chickens inside an enclosed area that the hawk cant penetrate.
You would be fined, jailed for up to two years, and lose the weapon you used to kill the hawk.
A permit can be obtained from the Wildlife Commission for predator control on domestic stocks. Otherwise, it is illegal.
You can still get the cornucopia until the 7th of December when the thanksgiving events are over. you can get it from killing chickens.
Very unlikely unless you eat diseased chicken flesh. Physically attacking and killing a human has not been recorded.
No, it's not true, they DO kill chickens. They have killed two of my chickens so far. I live in Oregon, and I've seen it, it's the Cooper's Hawk, AKA Chicken Hawk, that's been doing the killing. There are other varieties of raptors that are also called Chicken Hawks, depends which region you live in. I will add that I just lost a guinea in my chicken coop...completely surrounded by wire on top and sides...to a cooper hawk as well. How did I verify? I found the guinea's head lopped off and the hawk in the nest doing its work! I stabbed it with a pitch fork and did this search. I live in Nebraska. I had never seen this done inside a coop before. I found a chicken dead in the same manner a week ago at dusk (free range) nesting outside the roost.
Yes, bobcats kill and eat chickens.
there are reports of tarantulas killing and dragging away chickens. whether or not they eat them I don't know!
