is it ok to use cedar bedding for my two week old chicks? I've heard yes and no. just wondering what's best to use. thank you!

It seems that the greatest number of people discourage the use of cedar chips because the off-gassing of the cedar oils may be harmful to the respiratory system. Some also say that a little is okay.
I would say that if you have choices available, to choose pine shavings to be safe.
