    Are oak shavings OK for coop bedding?

    Hi! So I have a whole bunch of oak shavings... Is it OK to use them in the coop for bedding? They don't have an paint/stain... I know pine is OK, but I don't know about oak... they're pretty dry for the most part too, so I'm not worried about mold or anything like that. Thanks :-)
