Essentials to Keep on Hand for Illness/Injuries?

[WA_RN]

New chicken Mom here! My apologies if this is posted somewhere else and I missed it, but what essentials are recommended to be kept on hand for chicken illness or injuries? I’d like to put together a chicken first aid/illness kit stocked with essentials.

I would look for where you can get certain medicines, but don’t buy a lot of things because as you know they can become outdated before you might need them. Some may only be available online.
Some basics that I would keep would be:
Chlorhexidene, plain Neosporin ointment, 2x2 gauze pads, vet wrap or coban, BluKote spray, Nustock Cream, coconutt oil, and a medium sized wire dog crate.
Some medications that might be handy and some of which may soon not be available for a possible disease would be:
Corid (amprollium,) 10% Enrofloxacin/Baytril presently banned for chickens, but very food for severe infection or salpingitis, Poultry NutriDrench or Poultry Cell vitammin and electrolyte tonic, and Tylosin powder.

Here are a few other links with suggesttions:
