I want to put together a firstaidkit for my chicks/chickens. I pick up my 7 chicks Friday and have some basic firstaid stuff plus electrolytes, but want a full kit of EVERYTHING I'll need should something happen. Just got my tax refund so that's what a chunk of it will be going towards today...
...Does anybody else keep a firstaidkit that they use for their ducks and geese or both? Not sure if it’s any different from a chickenfirstaidkit, but any chickenfirstaidkit and what’s in them would also be welcome. What’s best to keep in a firstaidkit if anything were to go wrong with...
...a different question LOL.
So I am running a class on chickens, and one of the activities I will have the peeps do is assemble a chickenfirstaidkit! What I already have on my list:
Epsom salts
corn starch (stop the bleeding of nails and spurs)
Perhaps Vetrycin, portioned in spray bottles...
Hello,
My family and I are new to raising chickens and I am wondering how many of you keep a firstaidkit and what is in your firstaidkit? We have fifteen chickens so far and may get roughly five more. We have mostly large breed chickens (Jersey Giants and Black Australorps) so I have read...
...Hi, in case you haven't found it yet, the Learning Center is a great source of info on all sorts of topics: Learning Center. One of the articles in the LC covers basic firstaid supplies that are helpful to have on hand: ChickenFirstAidKits
Best wishes, have fun with that upcoming flock!
Thank you for sharing that! I'll check it out. I definitely want to keep a chickenfirstaidkit. I was an EMT in a former life, lol. Being prepared for emergencies of all sorts is in my blood.
I'm currently working on pulling together a comprehensive firstaidkit to have at the ready should any of my ducks need it! But first, I wanted to share this embroidered patch I made for my kit! It's going to be ironed-on to a small backpack I got for this project. I adore how it turned out...
:welcome

I have three hens and 6 pullets so I am thinking I should probably get a firstaidkit prepared just in case anything happens. What do you guys put in your/what are the basics that should be in mine? They don't free range so hopefully I wont need much, but better to be safe, just in case. I am...
Just curious what everyone else keeps in their chickenfirst-aidkit. I'm new to my personal chickens, and most of the experience I have is with meat chickens, so I didn't have to really deal with the same issues. I'm keeping egg chickens (that I'll turn into stock/stew when they start to get to...
I have lost a couple of chickens to what ever is causing the white butt, lethargic, doesn’t groom, eats a little. I have tried everything in my firstaidkit and I am still losing my chickens. See photos. Any advice?
Hey there, I recently went through this and, while I have not totally completed my firstaidkit, I did find this guide helpful and purchased a few things based on these recommendations. Hope this helps to get you started...
I have just purchased 3 chicks from Cackle Hatchery. 1 Welsummer, 1 Black Australorp and 1 Easter Egger. They are due to arrive in the fall. I plan to put them in the Omlet Eglu go up. From Murray McMurray I purchased the chickenfirstaid. I feel the firstaidkit is lacking. I need to add more...
