Get the 100,000 SHU cayenne pepper instead of 20,000-30,000 SHU. It burns if it touches the skin so wear glovesRats don’t mind ‘hot mouth’, though. We’re having a tough time discouraging them.

I'm putting chilli powder in the morning feeding, let ya know what happens.If the squirrels will not eat chicken food with chili powder in it, that would be one way to make the feed unavailable to the squirrels. Without the good source of food, the squirrels will be more inclined to go somewhere else.
Of course, that only works if the squirrels dislike chili powder and the chickens don't care. It's no good if the chicken's won't eat the feed, or if the squirrels like it too.
(I'm not saying this is the best fix, the only fix, or a quick fix; but in some cases it might be one possible fix for the situation.)
Killing squirrels is also one possible fix, but again not the only one.
Building a squirrel-proof chicken run could also be a possibility, although not one I would care to try.
Yep, if they just ate feed it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but they chewed holes into the soffit of two buildings, ran around, stored food, made nests and raised babies in the soffits and attics, it was a heck of a mess.I'd kill for a squirrel "problem."
The solution is an air rifle (not bb gun) and squirrel dumplings. Yum.
