This thought came to me tonight as I was making a chicken vomit (sour crop), as to whether that was a particular low in my chicken keeping career. Certainly it rivalled having to stick a lubricated digit up a chicken's arse,
but it did get me thinking about what potions and lotions I had in my kit to deal with chicken emergencies or general healthcare.
This is what I have;
Mites/lice/worms - ACV, Flubenvet, Frontline, Ivermectin, louse/redmite powder, pigeon mite killer spray, surgical spirit, Vaseline, Creocote (not for application to chicken
)
Injuries - tape, wound powder, anti bac spray, violet spray
ABs - Aureomycin/Tylan/Baytril
Other - eye balm, Cod Liver oil, vitamin supplements, Udder cream, coconut oil, Respite, Eucalyptus Oil, olive oil, Flexitol, syringes, garlic, seaweed, nail clippers, nail file, beak bits
What's in yours?
