I know most keep

DE or poultry dust- in case of mites, parasites.....
ACV or other wormer- in case of worms
Bag balm or neosporin- in case of injury
Vitamins and/or electrolytes - just for good managment

but what else do you normally keep on hand?
 
Good post. will be subscribing to see what others write

I use stall dry in my coop also and extra bedding if I need to change that out before I thought or something... and I have a big bag of 5-grain scratch for when I want to spoil my chickies

I should mention that I keep plastic eggs filled with rocks near by. I have had a few egg eaters and when ever I see remnants of eggs I put easter eggs in to prevent habitual egg crackers! I don't have this happen often, but I had a friend who never could get it to stop and I don't want the girls to get cozy snacking on eggs.
