I read about all the types of emergencies that could happen, and figured wounds will probably happen most. So I stocked up (as I went along) with:

Vet-wrap (the very best, most useful item in my kit!)
Betadine solution (used with almost every wound so far)
Gauze & small scissors
Triple antibiotic cream ointment (used for packing into deep wounds)
Blu-kote (haven't used it)
Blood stop powder
Rooster Booster anti-pick lotion (I use it occasionally)
Pine tar (never used it)
Large syringe (for giving food & water to sick bird, and for flushing out wounds with saline)
A jar of baby food, highest protein level I could find
Pedialyte electrolyte solution
Poly-Vi-Sol liquid infant vitamins without iron (I frequently use it for a recovering bird)
List of our local feedstores & their phone numbers & hours, including the antibiotics carried in each one

vicks on my kids chest or on my chickens neck, same purpose. Relieve congestion.
