First Aid Kit
Supplies Checklist

If you own poultry, you are sure to have plenty of opportunities to act as their veterinarian.  It is so helpful to have on hand some of the basic medicines and supplies that are commonly used so you can save a trip to the feed store or Tractor Supply.  Here is a list of supplies we keep in our first aid kit: 

  • Nutra-Drench - For a quick shot of nutrients or to pink up pale combs
  • Oxine - For disinfecting coop or carriers
  • Corid Soluble Powder- For treating Coccidiosis
  • Tylan 50 Injectable - Treating individual birds for respiratory disease
  • Tylan Powder - Treating whole flock for respiratory outbreak
  • Gallimycin - Treats upper respiratory diseases (Try mixed with Tylan!)
  • Sevin - Use during coop clean-out under shavings and in mite-prone areas
  • Adam's Flea and Tick - Spray birds at vent and under wings to treat mites
  • Wazine - Treat flock for worms, water-soluble
  • Flea & Tick Shampoo - Wash birds in water with shampoo when overrun with mites
  • Vitamins & Electrolytes - Use in times of stress like during or after shows
  • Probiotics - water soluble - Use after round of antibiotics to restore healthy gut flora
  • VetRX or Blue Ribbon RX Remedy - Relieves respiratory problems

  • Rubbing Alcohol/Hydrogen Peroxide - To clean and disinfect minor wounds
