Hi
I have access to rosewood shavings. I understand that cedar shavings are toxic. Is Rosewood shavings toxic too?

Hey Qubreakthruhw, sorry, I have no idea but I notice that while you have been a member for a while now, this is your first post so I just wanted to say Welcome! Nice to meet you!

I am sure someone will be along shortly who will be able to answer your question.

Hello and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. Like Teila, I am clueless on that one. Maybe try re-posting here - Coop & Run - Design, Construction, & Maintenance

More generally you may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread#post_3239224

A lot of folks use pine shavings. I am sorry but never heard of rosewood.

Guess I'll have to join the other greeters in saying I'm not familiar with rosewood shavings. Pork Pie Ken has given you a couple of possible places to find an answer (and have you tried doing a search).

Best wishes to you!

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us rosewood should be fine, its the aromatic qualities of cedar that make it a problem.
