Is lots of loose cat hair good for chickens?

We shaved our long haired cat for the summer and my son put the hair in with the chickens. Is that safe for the chickens or will the hairs get ingested and cause the chickens trouble?

    This might cause a hair ball (tumor) in the stomach or may even cause the birds intestines to be blocked. I suggest you remove all hair from the chickens area.
