Basswood shavings safe for chicks?

[Peruvian]

I have a friend who is a woodworker who supplies me with wood shavings. He is out of pine shavings and will be working with basswood for a few weeks. Are basswood shavings safe for chick bedding?

Absolutely. Probably better than pine, actually. Lay in a supply while you can.

I carve basswood and have a lot of shavings. I had been wondering this too. Thanks
