Building a first aid kit

[Sammster]

I'm new at chicken raising, and reading lots of posts on illnesses and injuries. Because of this, I've started a 1st aid kit for my chickens.

What are your 1st aid kit "must-haves"?

I have been working on a first aid kit. So far I have Nutri-Drench and Hydro Hen. I want some Veterycin but it is so expensive.

I bought a small bottle. Its the same price as blu-Kote, but way better in my opinion.

It's $16.00 at my TSC. I'm still a kid and I don't really have a job, so I can pay for some stuff but I try to save some of my money.

Calcium distrate

I believe you meant Calcium Citrate?

You can get this at just about any drug store, grocery store, or even Costco. It's just a human calcium supplement. Be sure it is the CITRATE form, not calcium carbonate. Yeah, it's the more expensive one, but it absorbs much better, and that's the point.
