Building Quail Pen Out Of Cedar

[B. Kossum]

I just got 10 A&M quail. They are almost two weeks old and I am planning on building them a rabbit hutch-style cage. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to use some cedar boards I have lying around. I read somewhere that you don't want to use cedar shavings because of the dust, but that wouldn't be an issue with the boards.

Thanks for any input!

the boards are fine.
