First aid kit

[Nikki80]

I want to put together a first aid kit for my chicks/chickens. I pick up my 7 chicks Friday and have some basic first aid stuff plus electrolytes, but want a full kit of EVERYTHING I'll need should something happen. Just got my tax refund so that's what a chunk of it will be going towards today or tomorrow since I like to be prepared. What are some of the things that absolutely should be in it, and what are unlikely to be needed but good for emergencies? I should note that there aren't any vets in my area that will see chickens, nearest one is a couple hours away so unless an absolute life or death emergency I'm on my own.

Hey there, I recently went through this and, while I have not totally completed my first aid kit, I did find this guide helpful and purchased a few things based on these recommendations. Hope this helps to get you started!
