WHAT ARE YOUR CKN FIRST-AID KIT *MUST HAVES*???

MBLayfield said:

In my first aid kit I don't have much sadly, but I haven't needed much either....  So that's good too.


Wazine

Tylan 50

Needles

Syringes

Alcohol Preps

Coflex

Tweezers

Scissors

Vet RX

A dosage chart on meds

Powdered Electrolites

Extra batteries for the hygrometer and thermometer

wafer for incubator

Powdered Antibiotic wator soluable (don't remember name)

Chick Dispatcher (plier looking things)

Leg bands


I guess its not quite all first aid.  I put it all in a clear tote with a handle and take it with me when I'm out with the girls and i keep it next to the incubators and brooders


Edited to include Tylan 50 not Tylan 200

* Reading the E/D/I forum got me wondering this. . . I'M TALKING THE BASICS!! If you've got a ckn defibrilator -- keep it to yourself, 'kay?

4 of mine: FOAMING PUMP TEARLESS BABY SHAMPOO-(dollar store) *EXCELLENT* STUFF on CHICKENS: wounds, head/eye washing; 1000 Q-TIPS; AND SM. BTL. REGULAR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE; & (drugstore brand) *SALINE* NASAL SPRAY-- CUZ THE BTL. SPRAYS, SQUIRTS OR DRIPS THE STUFF & IT'S CHEAPER!!

I created this simple article to demonstrate a solution that is proven effective on baby chicks.
All Poultry First Aid Kits should have this.
