The Geese of Wenlli Part 13

Another winter passes. Spring begins to unfold. Jill worries about Rodney the Rooster having to talk foreign languages all the time, he needs a friend. So two hens are introduced to Wenlli and as a result a love affair starts between Cassandra and Rodney - she follows him everywhere. The geese start laying and sit on nests in their shed. On April 13th the first baby of the year is born - fluffy yellow head, deepest ultramarine, almost black, back and a cute pale tail! Rodney and Raquel find their living quarters with no outside help - they move into the rabbit shed - and come early May produce four little black chickens which are almost impossible to photograph clearly. The chicks have little feathers on their legs just like Dad's!
