I meant hot weather and added it. I had to put my chicks on albon today. I mixed age groups and after a week a couple have symptoms.

***Sulfadimethoxine or Albon or Di-Methox or Corrid or Sulmet -for coccidiosis, always measure carefully and take the weather conditions into consideration, (hot weather use more water 1.5 - 1.25 gallon for the gallon dose)
Should always be on hand, a must.
Tylan200 also known as tylosin200- for individual special bird treatment for respiratory can be used 10cc per gallon water or injected/shot works, better when used with terramycin or tetracycline based med.
Added light and large box or cage for chickens hospital . If no one is interested I'll stop the list, it is ok. I started making a list to help people new to chickens. We have a list in the files but medical supplies/wound treatments have changed since it was made.
horse wrap and gauze pads
antibiotic ointment (not pain free) for bumble foot mixed with a tiny drop of tea tree oil to draw out infection in bumble foot
scissors- cut away feathers from a wound or trim a beak (file beak with a file or emery board after trimming)
small needle nose pliers to pull a bleeding blood feather out or pluck feathers carefully away from a wound
light with bulb/heat lamp for a chicken hospital- suited for inside or outside temps- bird can get under or away from to support healing
olive oil- for crop bound - have also used crop bound capsules aka stool softner capsules and drug store psyllium husk capsules
*always wet a tablet or capsule before putting it into a chickens mouth because they do not make saliva like we do
children's vitamins with minerals (crushabl) used for downers/lame with b complex
b complex tablets or capsules for lameness and or curled toes - all 11 b vitamins.
horse e and selenium- to be given in very small amounts for head tucking and/or mycotoxin poisoning
worminator - for emergencies or valuable poultry -Twin City Poultry Supply kills all worms and only takes a drop or two
weak goat tube feeding kit - chickens who cannot feed on their own and have a chance of recovering-chicken on counter facing, crop on left NuCote, a liquid bandaid. It stings for a minute but covers and seals the wound, then eventually falls off
super glue- glue wounds together, glue broken spurs, stop a nail from bleeding again
blue kote-kills bacteria and fungus
peroxide to boil out predator saliva and dirt, only use once or twice at the most
blood stop and soldering gun in case the blood stop doesn't work after awhile on a broken spur or nail
aspirin- for pain and fever baby aspirin once or twice, http://msucares.com/poultry/diseases/solutions.html
Prep H- for prolapsed vent or stuck egg reduces inflammation of tissues
duramycin or other brand aka tetracycline aka terramycin aka chlortetracylcine use for wounds that need an antibiotic or mycoplasma infection

Vetericyn wound spray- heals infected wounds and wounds in eyes
little girl hair rubber band for splay legged new hatched chicks - tie a knot in the middle and put a loop around each leg, each loop should line up so the legs are centered right for the chick to stand, add b complex to their water with poultry vitamins measured carefully and get 2 incubator thermometers and hygrometers to avoid this problem in the future
