What’s in YOUR Emergency Kit?

I’m building up my emergency kit.
I’ve got things for wound care, rooster booster etc.
Beginning with what you consider critical on down?

Essentials (Must-Have)​

1. Wound Care
   • Betadine or Chlorhexidine (for cleaning wounds)
   • Vetericyn spray or saline solution
   • Blu-Kote or Hen Healer (for covering wounds & preventing pecking)
   • Gauze, vet wrap, and medical tape
   • Styptic powder or cornstarch (to stop bleeding)
2. Internal Support
   • Rooster Booster Poultry Cell
   • Nutri-Drench (fast energy boost for weak birds)
   • Poultry electrolytes & probiotics (Sav-A-Chick or homemade)
   • Calcium source (Tums or calcium gluconate for egg binding)
3. Digestive Health
   • Activated charcoal (for toxin exposure or diarrhea)
   • Epsom salt (for soaks—helps egg binding, bumblefoot, or detox)
   • Crop-bound treatment: Coconut oil or vegetable oil (for softening blockages)
4. Medications & Treatments
   • Corid (for coccidiosis)
   • Safe dewormer (Valbazen or Fenbendazole)
   • Ivermectin (external & internal parasites)
   • Antibiotic ointment (plain, no pain relief)
   • Antifungal cream (for possible fungal infections)

Secondary (Nice to Have)​

• Syringes & feeding tubes (for sick or weak birds)
• Small pet carrier or cage (for isolation)
• Leg splinting materials (vet wrap, popsicle sticks)
• Heat source (heating pad or lamp for sick birds)
• Scissors & tweezers (for wound and feather care)

I have a human emergency kit. Not one for my chickens.

When I need water with electrolytes I make it with what I have.
When I need a painkiller I crumble a tablet and give a tiny pinch to my tiny chicken if she is in pain.

In the 10 years I had chickens I didn’t need any real medication.
