The squirrels will eat their feed but won't/shouldn't harm your birds.

I'd say get rid your squirrel issue so your not tearing through feed at an astronomical amount.

Do you have any plan tp raise 100 chicks? if yes you can share that. I will try to get rid squirrel asap.

I do not sorry. I only have 20 myself and I can barely keep up getting rid of the excess eggs

I'd say 4 chickens depending upon coop size attached to the run. Yes, squirrels will kill your chickens. They don't have to be ground squirrels either, we have gray squirrels that are very much predatory.

Finally i have found an article about pants that repel squirrel i have already some plants in my garden like Daffodils Bleeding Heart Galanthus as these are just small at this i hope they will be grown up so that squirrel problem will be solved.

Never heard of a predatory squirrel...

Lol, plants that repel squirrels only keep them from eating the plants. Those plants are poisonous, make sure your chickens don't eat them.

I never had either until I moved here.
