I understand that hens are sensitive to cedar wood shavings. I can see why; when i've had to work with that type of wood (nailing shingles, putting up a fence..), I feel that it's tough on my respiratory system.
Well, the thing is this: I have a lot of leftover fence boards from a job I had to do, and I've been wanting to build a new coop (bigger, fancier
), and it would be awesome if i could use that cedar for the outer structure. I wouldn't use it for the floor, or the perches for them to roost; it would only be used for the walls of the coop, and doors, etc.
Any thoughts on this plan?
Cheers to all, and all your chickens!
