Had a red tailed hawk try to grab a chicken right in front of me and the dog, like 10 m away. Everyone is okay but it was scary. Had this problem last February too, so maybe the hawks are particularly bold and hungry since it's their breeding season.
Anyway no outdoor foraging for a bit!

Yes they kill pets and small livestock but your only safe legal action is prevention. Roof, fencing, large animals nearby
I saw a video of a goat that was defending one of the chickens against some bird of prey trying to take it. It was incredible.
Poor hens.
