OK, ordering the coop today and thought I may as well include our basics in the postage. So my question now for you excellently helpful bunch of chicken lovers is WHAT do I need as a basic setup?

I'm guessing poultry shied, Diacom (sp?), nex tex sanitising powder or Stalosan or both?? Gentian Violet spray in case of emergencies? I want to keep a stock of things that spending time going to get or order online would be detrimental to the chickens...

Wound powder to stop bleeding
Frontline or Ivermectin (mites)
Flubenvet (worms)
