I'm picking up my chicks tomorrow and I've seen pine shavings is the thing of choice. I have left over cedar shavings that I use for my dog's dog house and I would like to know if these shavingswil be ok to use with my chicks? I appreciate any replies. Thanks

Nope - don't use cedar shavings - the fumes can be toxic to young birds.
