What do y'all think about bedding chickens on cedar shavings? We live real close to a cedar mill and can get shavings very cheap. They real nice fluffy shavings.
I know about the oils in cedar, potential problems for small animals (we won't use it for our guniea pigs, hamster or rabbit). But do you think it'd be a problem for the short amount of time broiler chickens would be on it?
My Rangers are about 3 1/2 weeks old. I'm building another tractor and hoping I can put them out in the tractor in a couple weeks. Would like to use cedar (odor/bug control and it's cheap!) bedding until I get them in the tractor, but won't if it'll hurt 'em.
