Cedar will kill them........

 

[MudPie]

I read before about not using cedar. What is about cedar that is bad for chicks. Is it only chicks?

 

[Roy]

My understanding is that is the oils in the cedar that can be inhaled that causes repository problems. Bad for a chickens young and old...

 

[LarryPQ]

cedar will also irritate their skin

 

[steelersfan43]

Yes definitely dont use cedar. Only pine

 

[noitulover]

cedar is bad for all small animals, including rabbits, hamster, guinea pigs, chickens, etc. etc.

Use pine, not cedar. I have even heard that aspen shavings are better than pine? IF you can find them.
