  Chickenhawks or Chicken Hawks
Chickenhawk or Chicken Hawk is an unofficial designation for three species of North American hawk -- the Cooper's Hawk, the Sharp-shinned Hawk or the Red-tailed Hawk.
Although Cooper and Sharp-shinned hawks may attack other birds, chickens do not make a up a significant amount of their diet; red-tailed hawks have varied diets though they too would be unlikely to attack poultry.
Officially, per the American Ornithologists' Union's bird naming, the term has become obsolete as applied to birds, but still enjoys widespread colloquial use in many rural areas of where either of the three species has been seen as a threat to small outdoor animals kept as pets or livestock, especially chickens.

 One Hand Clapping » Blog Archive » “Chickenhawk” works both ways
And it is a shame that ‘chickenhawks’ like Rumsfeld openly dismissed the knowledge of those with actual combat planning in the pentagon, humanitarian groups who had actual been to combat zones, and Islamic leaders, who could have better prepared us for the civilian reaction to our ‘liberation’.
The reason the ‘chickenhawk’ argument has any popular force at all lies in a populist impulse that somehow the “rich” are sending the children of the “poor” off to fight.
Those who use the ‘chickenhawk’ slur obviously don’t have any idea what kind of bird a chickenhawk is. It’s a hawk that kills and eats chickens, and is a very tough bird.
