Are "shavings" the same thing as sawdust?
My neighbor just gave me four huge containers with clean oak sawdust that came from a sawmill when he learned I had a new chicken coop. I don't know if I should use it for bedding, floor, or neither.
I have seen "shavings" for things like dog bedding (cedar shavings), but the shavings are much larger than what I would call sawdust from a woodshop or mill.
I don't want my chickens to think they've found the laying mash bonanza if I decide to pour the sawdust across the dirt floor. Comments?
