I am making an emergency firstaidkit to have on hand for my chickens. I have been reading about "Blu-Kote" spray and thinking about adding it to my kit. What do you all think? Would you recommend Blu-Kote for wounds or is there something better? It just doesn't seem very safe; there are a lot...
I recently took a FirstAid/CPR class and the instructor required us to put together an emergency manual and a firstaidkit. I was thinking it would be a good idea to have something like that for chickens (and other fowl). I of course intend on doing my own research, but here are a few...
Just found out there aren't any vets who treat chickens anywhere near us- if you had to have emergency meds/treatments on hand (epsom salts, corid etc) what you you recommend?
So we're in the middle of torrential rain. I went out to check the ducks and one of the girls has wedged her head through the avery wire fence and got herself stuck (she had to be determined because it's a small mess).
I managed to get her out but she could have been like that for hours. Her...
I am making this for any noobies or people who don't have one of these. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A EMERGENCY KIT YOU MAY COST YOUR CHICKEN THERE LIFE! I always keep these items on hand for emergencies and such:
Vet wrap
Triple antibiotic
Styptic powder
Liquid calcium (for egg binding)
Hen healer balm...
Yesterday I started my chicken firstaidkit. So far it contains:
Epsom salts
Vetrap
Electrolyte powder
Antibiotic ointment
Vetericyn
Chlorohexidine
Gauze pads
Written instructions in curing bumblefoot
What else do I need? In my feed store I saw some scaly leg cream, and some anti peck. I may...
I know I have some holes in my firstaidkit, like Tylan. What items do I need?
I have:
Corrid
Ivermectin
Rooster Booster
Dichotomous earth
Blu Kote
Vetericyn
Iodine
Gauze
Vetwrap
I need to replenish:
Sav A Chick
Poly Vi Sol (which specific one? with iron? w/o iron?)
What do I need to add...
Is there a compiled list of medications/products to use for chicken illnesses or injuries, along with the appropriate dosages and number of times to administer each day? Thanks!
I am preparing for my baby chicks arrival. What do you need for a chicken first sidnkit...from birth through adulthood? Also, I am reading that I should have "gro gel" on hand for arrival. Where do you find that and how much do they need?
do you have one? What is in it? Do you know if this is a good formula? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UTDXBX6/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d
Thank you!

Hey! I was thinking of maybe making a firstaidkit of sorts for my girls, just to have some things that would be nice to have around in case of emergencies so I won't have to go searching the whole internet and every store for it when something does happen. Does anyone have anything I can add...
I’m newish to keeping chickens (coming up to a year) and I’d love to know what is in your chicken firstaidkit! I’m based in the UK so there may be some medication you can get in the US that I can’t get here but I can of course Google and try to find an alternative! I’ve been collecting things...
I'm new at chicken raising, and reading lots of posts on illnesses and injuries. Because of this, I've started a 1st aidkit for my chickens.
What are your 1st aidkit "must-haves"?
Go to the emergencies section. Read about all the horrible things that happen, and see people that are utterly unprepared. Ok, now, you don’t be that way. Get some spray sterile saline cans, get some Vetericyn, get some self adhering wrap and sterile gauze and bandages, disposable sterile...
Hi everyone. I'm very new to raising chickens and I was hoping to know what you all think are essential items to have in a firstaidkit for your flock. We only have 6 girls, but things can happen and I'd like to be prepared if possible.
Thanks so much
Hello, I'm pretty new to chickens but I've been trying to learn all I can. I've seen lots of posts about sick chickens. I'd like to think I'd be ready to handle any problems that arise, so my question is, what firstaid/medical supplies do you suggest I have on hand for any future...
