What’s in YOUR Emergency Kit?

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)

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?
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.
