Your flock and their home always look so immaculate! I wish my own coops looked so good! I certainly relate to the desire to downsize periodically though. Gotta say I'll miss Spider...but I'm sure you'll miss him moreAloha gang!
Welp, it is gunna happen. I am going to rehome my light brahmas with Spider. My flock is too big for me right now and my care for my chickens needs to be better. The good news is, within 30 minutes of my add being up I had 2 terrific people willing to take Spider and his girls on. I spent hours vetting the second one and already know the first contender- A good egg on big acreage- I will wait for him to build his coop and run. Gave him chicken specs. Being dog proof and big is a must. He is smart, capable and excited.
So, I will take the time to really work on my flock and get them clean as a whistle. For some reason I have been mite free despite the feral broodies. I think it is the pyrethrin I used. Yippee. My flock does have some sticktight fleas though, and last night checking, dosing and Vaseline-ing them was a chore. My awesome solar light was not working and neither were many of my motion sensor lights. I need to really get in and do maintenance in the coops and run. I did remove the feral broodies last night. They are in cages and I will relocate them. The one saucy started to physically attack me - face and body - so I am over her. Enough already. This morning I removed all old nesting material, cleaned boxes and added new materials. Now all the girls are screaming. It's all just to clean and fresh for them. Can't win, lol.
Anywho, deworm and bathe is next. Probably in a week or so. @kurby22 , I could use some showchicken bathing tips ♡♡♡. I really want to go through all my girls with a fine toothed comb. I've been such a slacker lately. They deserve so much better than what I have been able to do.
. I'm really glad him and his ladies are going to a good home. The ferals sound like such a fun problem
! I'm sure the fun wears thin between feed bills, parasites and cleaning up after them. Not to mention the saucy lady! 
! And the ducklings! I've been very good this year and haven't hatched a single ducky...but seeing yours reminds me of what joyful little clowns they are! Such a pretty color yours are 
Happy Spring coming up soon! I love this idea.
