The roof of my run was destroyed Tuesday night and the rain turned the ground into a small pond. To let them out, I had to put something on the ground to help get rid of the mud and standing water. All I had on hand in the amount needed were old cedar shavings from my dad's sawmill. They're a little damp, but clean. I didn't want them walking on mud. I've heard conflicting reports on the safety of using cedar shavings, but I know that if you DO decide to use them you should make sure it's in a well ventilated area and not to use it around chicks (since they're so low to the ground).
Since it's outdoors so obviously well ventilated, and my birds are adults, do you think I can get away with using this for a little while? When the weather clears up I plan on removing them and replacing with either pine or gravel. I was hesitant to, but I had to figure out some way to get them outdoors since they didn't seem to want to eat when they were kept inside.
