What’s in your chicken first aid kit?! 🐓

In my mind you mean you’re cooking them tiny dinners…..

I will cook eggs for sick birds or as a treat.

Coconut oil is edible to chickens and dogs. Its also good for impacted crop.

I cook for my birds sometimes and I use coconut oil. Other oils are okay in moderation, including olive oil.

I now have the best image of you cooking teeny tiny dinners for them in little pots and pans

@Lazygaze - I love having a bulk box pack of Nitrile gloves for anything to do with my animals. A good pair of scissors really helps with many things. Tweezers is a GREAT addition actually, I need a pair for my kit.

I’m newish to keeping chickens (coming up to a year) and I’d love to know what is in your chicken first aid kit! I’m based in the UK so there may be some medication you can get in the US that I can’t get here but I can of course Google and try to find an alternative! I’ve been collecting things as my chickens get into scrapes and mischief! I currently have:

Vet wrap
Purple antibacterial spray
Chicken vitamins for drinking water
Worming powder
Coccidiosis liquid medicine for water
Magnesium sulphate ointment
non stick gauze

I’ve ordered some Neosporin from abroad so hopefully that’ll find its way to me though I’m not sure it’ll get through customs

What might I find I suddenly need?! Looking forward to seeing your suggestions!

Heres my kit! Were still upgrading, so its not big

{Petroleum jelly}

{Coconut oil}

{LED heatlamp}

{Styptic powder}

For us we have the oral medications corid, metrazole, rooster booster, hydro hen, ivermectin, and panacur. Wound treatment meds are vetrycin, bag balm, peroxide (only used for bumble surgeries), Epsom salt (for soaking bumble feet and doing salt rinses) and blue kote. For supplies for applying medications to wounds and protecting wounds we have tweezers, gauze, vet wrap, self sticking vet wrap, vet tape, q-tips, and cotton balls.

Oh! Yes, coconut oil works great for that, love making my chicks mini meals.

micheals has great selections for mini pots, pans (their about the size of a bottlecap!) and small spoons, haha!
