I am gathering supplies for a vet shack me and my dad are building to treat my chickens and my friends chickens! I am gathering vet supplies and was wondering if I should have all of the wound flush products you listed in the beginning, or witch one would you suggest would be the best? I found the chlorhexidine on amazon, but was wondering if I had to pick one, which would you suggest? Thanks so much!

Calendual or trauma oil is a great addition to the list for bumble foot treatment, and finger splints for leg injuries! Save-A-chick is a good addition to the supplements list, plus, CBD oil can help with pain, kinda expensive, but there is some for birds on amazon! I hope I could help!

PS. make sure to check calcium pills to make sure you don't have magnesium anthem too, If receptively fed, it will cause death.

Also appreciate this thread. After an emergency the other day, I realize I need to keep more supplies on hand...to include a method of euthanasia I'm comfortable with attempting. If all else fails, I don't want a hen to suffer because I need to wait for something to ship.

Pulling together my kit and wondering if the 18 & 22 gauge needles listed would be blunts or sharps? What are they to be used for? I'm finding some blunts but sharps are harder to find.

I would say both.
