Chicken First Aid Kits - Handy and Essential Supplies, and How to Use Them

Excellent article!! I have lots of this stuff, but not in one place. Thanks for the great info!

great advice. I added everything you have plus tube feeding kit, valzaben, elector psp, honey instead of triple antibiotic, baytril 10%, monistat, calcium tabs and ivermectin pour on.

Wow! This was very instructive and easy to understand. I am getting my chickens in March and one of the things on my todo list is to gather items for a first aid kit. Now I know exactly what to buy and I will also bookmark this page for future reference. Thank you!

This is a really good artical, I would have liked to have been able to download it.

very helpful information, everyone needs to know!

Great information all in one place. I will bookmark to refer to and start building up my supplies.

I didn't double check this info, but it seems reliable and the idea of having all your supplies in one space seems like something I should already be doing (even though I'm not). This article gave good common sense advice that is easy to follow and will help protect your chickens in case of illness or injury. Two thumbs up!

Excellent list of first aid items to have on hand! I like the idea of posting expiry dates so that you know when something will need to be replaced. One thing I’ve added to my kit is Blu-kote. It’s an inexpensive antiseptic spray. The main ingredient is gentian violet so it does stain feathers but it works the same as some of the pricier antiseptic sprays. Terramycin is another go to especially for eye injuries. Great article and information! Thank you for sharing this!

Great info for us newbies!

Thanks for this information! Haven't needed it yet, but it is good to know that it is here if I do need it.

Excellent and helpful list and suggestions

Wow: Easy to understand. Not intimidating for the novice. Thank you!

This is a definite 10 it deserves double honor. This is knowledgeable, practical, inexpensive, involving things we should already have in our own first aid kits, shows multi purposes for things we use, but who would of thought for chickens? And most of all it is life saving for everyone, I can imagine a Vet saying, "Give her to aspirins, and call me in the morning."

Useful, clear, concise

What a fantastic resource for chicken keepers both old and new. Thank you for a concise and organized go-to article.

Excellent article! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve read multiple suggestions but this has it all well organized. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to compile this information!!

Thank you so much. Been trying to follow your suggestions since last May, so as to provide the best for my chickens.
