The last thing that you want is a sick bird in your coop. That is why in the past we have covered various treatments such as the diy chicken spa treatment and the diy homemade electrolytes for baby chickens. However, if you always want to be prepared, then you might want to consider this diy chicken first aid kit.
I prefer to stick with the natural or herbal treatment options for my chickens. However, they are some instances when you have no choice but to opt for the store bought versions. Just like we do with our own families, creating and owning a kit for the chickens for emergency situations is highly recommended. If you are strapped for cash, you can gradually build your kit over time.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- VetRx Poultry Aid---------------------- Advertisement ----------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------- - Pick No More Cover Up Lotion
- topical antiseptic
- nail clippers
- scissors
- vitamins
- electrolytes
- poultry dust
VetRx is found in liquid format and is ideal for treating scaly leg mites. When administered to via the nostrils, you can use it to treat any respiratory issues that your chickens may have. When your girls are picking their feathers, then you can use pick no more lotion to prevent them or stop them from doing this.
Topical antiseptic such as Blu-Konte is the perfect solution for treating wounds or cuts. Nail clippers are for clipping their toe nails as well as spurs. The scissors are for clipping the birds wings. When your birds are stressed you can administer vitamins and electrolytes. For any external parasites, then you can use poultry dust.
