Supplies to have on hand - chime in please!!!

[Ema]

So I live far from the nearest co-op but I am planning a trip in a few days. Apart from feed and bedding, and DE can anyone tell me what other supplies I should have on hand for my chickens? Vitamins? meds?

Vet Rx is always nice to have on hand.
Poultry dust for when they are older if mites or lice rear their ugly heads.

extra waterers/ feeders etc...

When they are babies I use A LOT of paper towels as bedding for the first 2-3 weeks.

poly visol- infant vitamin drops without iron
gatorade or pedialite
egg cartons, stock up and have friends and family do the same
Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV) for in the waterer
Coop light bulbs, stupid things tend to burn out when you don't plan on going to town
And most importantly, bacon.....goes well with eggs in the morning

Nustock for wounds
Sevin dust for mites

thermometer, baby grit, regular grit. shavings or bedding, did somebody post feed? starter, grower, layer? my first treat for the girls was white millet and then they really started to enjoy when I came to clean out the house.
