After much debate (with myself mostly!), I have decided that creating a new, dedicated page to the medicine cabinet (or tray) would be highly valuable as a point of reference. The aim of this page is to provide guidance (disclaimer: I am not a vet and base these items upon online research combined with my own experiences).
Below you will find a list of products especially targeted at those looking for a quick answer, who don’t necessarily have time to read an article. Please note that all items are linked to the relevant articles for thoroughness (hey, I like things tidy!).
I would also like to point out that product links are to Amazon, which are affiliated. This small revenue earned via the links allows me to continue writing for you for free!
If you are feeling generous, I have also added an option at the bottom of this page where you can buy me a coffee – the caffeine boost keeps the creativity flowing :D
I hope you find this of use and would greatly appreciate any additions you would like to make to this list – you can reach me using the Contact page or by commenting.
Enjoy and I hope your chickens stay healthy.
To help assist you even further, below you will find a table listed in alphabetical order. The image number corresponds with the above images. The aim of this table is to provide you with a list of items with some basic information such as when the product could be used.
A second table, below this first one, is cross-referenced with the products, sorted by potential symptoms chickens can display.
