    We have a saw mill near our home and they will give us all the wood shavings we want, for free. They use Quaking Aspen. Straight from the mill, not in bags with any treatments of any kind. Is it safe to use this for our hen house?

    In a word: Yup.


    Cedar chips are the ones frowned on due to the noxious/toxic oil.
