Caed board bedding

I have been using for a little over a week. I was mixing it up daily. The droppings seemed to be absorbed enough, I have a small flock of 15. I did however find a local tree farm that sells pine shavings for 1$ per 100# bag if we load it ourselves and bring our own bag, so I'm not going to continue doing the work for the free cardboard. But I do recommend it if you have a small coop and a tight budget, just be sure to use a good amount and give it a good stir each day.

Are they dried or from fresh cut trees?
Beware the sap and possible mold growth form moisture laden woods chips.

I'm not sure, but they were in a big pile in a large barn. They didn't feel wet or anything.
