Squirrels are eating my Peafowls's food. Can I put chili powder in their food to deter the squirrels?

I'm continuing the chili peppers, but it hasn't helped with my squirrel problem. I've been trapping them and taking them to Mission Bay in San Diego. My Peas are located in San Marcos (N. County San Diego). Compared to my chickens, the Peas are not big eaters. Is this normal?

I've had some luck keeping squirrels off my flower bulbs with chili powder. I would assume if you use flakes, they can eat around it maybe?
Did the chili increase your egg production?

Sorry i don't know what is a normal amount for peafowl to eat.

Chickens do not eat because they need to, they eat as a habit. Compared to peas who only eat to maintain themselves, chickens are a huge waste of feed.

I don't believe the Chili flakes affected egg production either way, but both the Peas and Chickens seem to really enjoying eating them.
