Suggestions for a First Aid Kit - Updated 8-01-2020

Please do! As well as maybe some human medications and OTC ones that can be used in chickens safely? Having some things on hand before a problem like coccidiosis comes up could help people treat it faster and maybe save some chickens and heartache... I can get my hands on prescription human meds more easily than veterinary medications here now.

I guess I should start a thread for medications.

I haven't done one get because it's one of those "hot topics" and likely to ruffle some feathers.

For humans or birds

People need to get over themselves. Everyone can manage their chickens the way they want to... having access to knowledge on the medications available and how they are used isn’t saying that you must use them!

Chicks are chicks, at the end of the day

As an aside... is there a way to make this list (maybe minus the digressions and chat, fun though they are) available at the top of the forum? Would be very helpful...

We can delete all chat posts or move them to a chat thread.

But to keep the info like pinned at the top of the forum somehow too? I found this when someone else started essentially the same thread and wyorp rock linked this one... so many things here I didn’t even think of!
