Any idea if sweetgum wood chips would be safe in my coop?

Should be OK, not toxic or sappy.
Tho a softwood would be better for coop shavings, IMO.
Would work good in a run.
But maybe depend on your expectations for them are.

Will you be chipping them yourself?
Are you new to chicken keeping?

We will be chipping them ourselves. I have had my chickens a year and a half. I live around Dallas, TX.
