Poultry first aid kit

[Mrs. K]

I have had chickens for 20 years, I have never doctored any of them. I did have one get sick once - I didn't like it, and culled her quickly. I have lost chickens, as in they are fine one moment, and dead the next morning, but never any of the things in Injuries, emergencies and illness forum.

Clean water, good space, hideouts, not over crowding, sunshine and good ventilation are the most important items to keep.

Also add corid electrolytes and prebiotics to the list

I, personally find the calcium tablets easier to give. This also eliminates the risk of aspirating liquid. I think Corid is the number 1 thing people should get when they get chicks. Chicks can go down so quickly, running around looking for it, or waiting for it to arrive by post, could be too late. I pretty much agree with the rest of the list too.

Liquid is not given by syringe you pit in water or some scrambled egg or in a little mash. Corid is definitely very important I keep adding more to the list as I remember

This is the liquid calcium is much easier to administer then pills especially if it's a younger pullet or a small Bantam that's egg bound. We got it on Amazon it is berry flavor but it will be okay if it's an emergency plus it will make it taste better for them to drink I usually mix it in with water when egg boundView attachment 3140965

How much do you give of this? Is there a chart for dosing anywhere?
