D. I am going to add on soon suggestions friends of mine have made.  Hopefully more members will add to it too.

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
