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.

Is chicken a meat?

Actually, yes, chickens do eat meat but they dont get rabies and kill people. My chickens have eaten dead mice and small things like that so dont know why some one would say THAT about chickens. Chickens that are allowed to roam outside in farmyards eat a lot of insects, which are animals. Some forms of chicken feed contain bone meal and meat byproducts, so yes, they would eat meat.
