HELP!!!
I am having a heart attack here!!! Many of you posted a reply on my coop being finished page about me having cedar shavings in the nesting boxes. You said the shavings were toxic..... I didn't get to read it till now and am NOW having a heart attack!!!!! I am going right now to get it out of the coop (nest boxes but some of course had fallen on the floor and I alread have about 6 inches of bedding 95% pine shavings the other 5 % cedar maybe (that might be a high guestimate).
How toxic??? What does it do???? Are they going to be ok or should I be looking out for something????

What does it do to the and how toxic what happens??????
Please write back anyone ASAP if you can I am so scared!! new to all of this and had no idea.
I used it for the the nice cedar smell and thought it would be homie for them. I had no clue!!!
They had not started laying eggs yet they are only 7.5 weeks old are they going to die??? Are thier eggs going to be ok and good to eat???? If we do have chicks from them will they be ok?????

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME HERE!!!!! I AM SO SCARED!!!!

Thank you for any help

That amount of cedar is fine. Straight cedar can be toxic to chicks and other baby fowl. If you notice your birds with respiritory distress, then remove the rest of the cedar.

I am moving this to the appropriate forum for further comments.

I sent you a reply to your email. It tells you a little about the affects of cedar.
