heyOkay, I know cedar shvings aren't good for chickens, but my two coops that seem to be the worst infested with mites are 8ft long by 4ft and 4ft high and fully open on 3 side. I have been reading that the oils and aroma given off by cedar, can kill/repel mites, but I also know it can affect chickens, bit I was thinking that since these two coop are well ventilated, that maybe adding a bag of cedar to each one for a couple days might not be a bad idea?what do ya'll think??![]()
I use cedar in my coop mixed with pine I started when my girls got lice.. it has helped and from what i can tell no side effects I have been doing it for at least 2-3 months!
