Synopsis

Escaped farm hen Leafie oozes maternal instinct since she is deprived of the chance to brood the eggs she laid. Adrift in the wilderness, she narrowly flees the hungry jaws of One Eye the weasel, thanks to Wanderer, a wild guard duck with a crippled wing. She finds a way of repaying him by adopting his son Greenie, after the duckling’s mother, and later Wanderer himself fall prey to One Eye.
