Harwood shavings ok?????

[kipper]

We have been offered hardwood shavings from a local cabinet shop, likely to be usual cabinet woods such as oak, maple, hickory, cherry, etc.

I have heard these are not ok due to splinters - is this true? We would be using them with our adult standard chickens.

Anyone?

We have a friend that crafts all kinds of things from hardwoods. I'm using his shavings with my adult birds and my chicks. No problems that I know of, yet. I imagine with adult birds it shouldn't be a problem. Anyone else??

Good to know! It looks like we will have a nice supply.

As long as they dont contain cedar they should be just fine.
