Bedding for chicks?

I believe cedar can cause respitory problems in the chicks

Thanks for input Chichen pickin! Makes sense, when we opened the bag my first thought was, "holy cow that's strong smelling!". Glad I got rid of it.

i used large flake pine shavings, but when they were itty bitty i put paper towels on top for a few days & then switched to puppy pads. i used them for about two weeks. i was real happy with that.

alot of people use pine shaving and i also heard on people using sand

I remember someone mentioning that they use chick starter (crumbles) for bedding. It makes sense since most of their starter gets lost under the bedding, anyway. When I clean out the brooder, after the chicks are moved outside, I am amazed at the amount of chick food that is in among the bedding that I'm throwing out!
