Your top 5 must have on hands for pests and things

[HensInTheForest]

I am looking for a quick list of things to grab so if when they need arises they are on hand for mites fleas worms etc or whatever else you all think could be coming our way.

New first flock, 20 birds are 14 weeks, new run and new coop.

Located in MN.

Elector PSP

What else??

I have ivermectin and poultry drench. . .

 

[Folly's place]

Gordon's permethrin concentrate, much less expensive than spinosad.
Neosporin or silvadene ointment.
Big dog airline crate for isolation, or something similar.
Extra baled shavings.
Nolvasan or a good scrub.
Disposable vinyl or other gloves.
Drugs have expiration dates, so having a full medicine chest for birds only is a waste; concentrate on supplies for everyone instead.
Cling type rolled bandages, maybe one roll.
