Hah, this is the story of my life lately.... I put "some cedar" in my run and hen house after reading in a CHICKEN BOOK that its a good way to keep mites away.... this was along with pine shavings because I could have sworn that I read on BYC that all bedding being cedar is bad. Then I read on BYC that any amount is bad so I cleaned it out of the hen house (but left it in the run) because its a small enclosed area. Then my friend who is a home inspector pointed out to me that homes made of Cedar are healthy and desirable (mine) and that my Cedar trees along with everything else nature provides that has a pungent smell arent killing any of the small animals that exist in them, etc etc. so I put another handfull back in the hen house. Then I read on BYC it is bad and took it out again. NO JOKE.... As of recent I'm just well aware that there is a Cedar debate on BYC... LOL! Oh sheeze, I hope I didnt just start it up again... back, back, I'm not saying either way.....
