My chicken and guineas raided the bird feeder. Is the shelled sunflower seeds going to hurt them ?

I heard an alarm call in my side yard.The guineas were chasing wild turkeys away and my male peacock also joined the chase.Oh they were all determined and chased for about 15 acres of land and then came home for a treat.

yep he is the neighbors .I have to be nice because my hens jump the fence and free range on his property also.

Well I tried spaying him with a hose and the brat started taking a bath.I got a big fan rake out of the barn and when he charges I lift him up and so far he is leaving me alone.When I turn my back is when he comes at me.I am going to keep the rake handy for a week and maybe he will smarten up.
