What does your chicken cabinet look like?

These here are all things I like to keep on hand for chicken keeping.

✔️ Tiagard- Treats Upper Respiratory problems
✔️ Elector PSP- Insect Control Agent (I use for mites)
✔️ Ivermectin-Insect Control Agent (I use for mites)
I switch off every other month with Elector PSP & Ivermectin. I definitely prefer Elector PSP over ivermectin as it’s easier to use.
✔️Epsom Salt- With Warm water can help treat egg bound hens, vent Gleet, Skin Irritations, etc.
✔️ 4:1- Treatment for Canker, Coccidiosis, E-Coli, and other infections.
✔️ Enroflaxacin- Treatment of bacterial infections of the Respiratory System
✔️ Endocox Powder- Treatment for Coccidiosis
Endocox Liquid-Treatment for Coccidiosis (Prefer this)
✔️ Wormer Deluxe- Takes care of roundworm, hook worm, Caecal Worm, Tape Worm, & Thread Worm.
✔️ Monistat- Used in the past for Sour Crop. I will also use for Vent Gleet, too.
✔️ Terramycin- Helps majority of eye issues
✔️ Preparation H- Used to help cure a Prolapse. Put on vent multiple times a day.
✔️ Corid-More intense treatment for coccidiosis. Definitely used vitamins after treatment. I stay away from Corid unless I notice a more severe case of coccidiosis.
✔️ Vitamin E & Selenium Goat Paste - Manly used for Wry Neck. I will also use if any chick or adult seems “off”
✔️ Nutridrench- Full of vitamins to rapidly bring energy back to your bird
✔️ Vita Flex E & Selenuim- Preventive I use and mix in their food. I have this in powder AND crumbles.
✔️ Painters Tape & Scissors- To put up their hair! 😜

What’s missing that is a must?

PSA I had sent DNA samples to s*xadodeaves Dec 10 and had not heard back in the 8-12 day turn around, so I emailed them, no response x3. Now their website is down. I am worried!!! It's been 23 days, does anyone else have any info. I have used them 3 other times without issue, and they have been around since 2012.

TIA Renee
