Thank you. 00:12:36:11 - 00:12:40:13 Courtney No problem. How are your ducks doing? 00:12:40:15 - 00:12:43:03 MAK I like to keep my ducks in a row. 00:12:43:05 - 00:12:52:08 Courtney For those of you that don't know Martha and has, gathered two ducklings, and now they are. They're pretty big ducks. 00:12:52:10 - 00:12:54:17 MAK It's time for them to go. 00:12:54:19 - 00:12:59:12 Courtney So she's. They're going to various ducklings. Yes. She she's going to take. 00:12:59:15 - 00:13:00:24 MAK Care of them. 00:13:00:26 - 00:13:02:15 Courtney A good farm, a good farm. 00:13:02:18 - 00:13:03:28 MAK But it's time for them to go. 00:13:04:01 - 00:13:18:15 Courtney She's been taking care of them, and she's been having such a blast doing that. As you can tell. Yeah. And, I just wanted people, you know, to know that if you have any ducks that need tact. Martha N does a very good job with that. 00:13:18:15 - 00:13:23:01 MAK Keeper of the ducks. Yeah. The dog and the cat are not thrilled. 00:13:23:04 - 00:13:25:09 Courtney Yeah, I would think not. Probably. 00:13:25:12 - 00:13:26:16 MAK No. 00:13:26:19 - 00:13:30:25 Courtney And instead of, like, maybe now they're like, what? Quacking was very. 00:13:30:25 - 00:13:36:10 MAK Interesting to learn more about them. They have teeny tiny wings. 00:13:36:11 - 00:13:37:03 Courtney 00:13:37:05 - 00:13:55:09 MAK And giant feet. And they also, I feel like they grow like maybe they quadruple their size every week. Yeah. Because they were just tiny like in my hand. And now they kind of peer at me in my eyes. 00:13:55:11 - 00:13:56:11 Courtney They are big now. 00:13:56:12 - 00:14:06:14 MAK They also look like they don't really look straight forward at you. But they go. Like that. Yeah. So that's it. 00:14:06:16 - 00:14:11:29 Courtney Well you heard it here. If you need a duck keeper, not me. 00:14:12:02 - 00:14:13:08 MAK Thank you. 00:14:13:10 - 00:14:14:28 Courtney All right, well, that's all we had this week. 00:14:15:04 - 00:14:17:24 MAK It is.
