Chicken First aid kits

[Dom Lover]

Is there any company that sells chicken specific first aid kits, or do I have to create my own?

Wouldn't that be nice! I have created my own over time.

It's nice to have Neosporin handy for small boo-boos. My stupidest pullet tore the back of her comb, a few weeks ago. I cleaned the blood and applied Neosporin for two days. The wound healed nicely. Great stuff, that Neosporin!

Totally agree. I keep 2 tubes at hand at all times. 1 for us humans and 1 for our furbabies. Guess I'll be keeping 3 in the future.

I build my own and have a separate cabinet for theirs, I keep stypix,neosporin,vetrycin spray, blue kote splinting and hobble making supplies as I hatch in an incubator, save a chick,safeguard which not sure why I keep it in there haven't had a need for it in 2.5 years. I am going to be adding in tylan and corrid cause I do live a ways away from where I can get

So funny you said that. I was thinking the same thing. I'll leave it to you and just buy one when you get it figured out.

That makes me feel better. I have all those things on hand, including Corrid but need Tylan. I have never needed them, but you never know. It would take at least 2 hours to get it if I needed it, so best to have it on hand. I also have all the mite fighting sprays, which I haven't needed yet. "Better safe than sorry."
