Hello! I have requested chickens for my birthday in August, to get back into the swing of things. My husband tells me that things ALWAYS cost more than I say they will, because "things" always come up. And he's right.
SO. I want to prepare for as many "things" as possible and include that in the cost that I hand to him. I want to create a chicken med kit, but its been many, many years since I have had chickens, and to be honest, if any birds were having issues that antibiotic ointment couldn't help, they were culled. I want to just have a 3-5 birds at this point, so I could actually afford to give them that TLC if they need it. These will be pets/egg layers, not meat birds. Not that we won't eat offspring, but that's another thing lol
Please tell me what you would put in a med kit, and ALSO please tell me why/what it's for!
If you have any tips as well for getting back in the saddle, please feel free to share!
