Synopsis

Dinky is always doing everyone a favor when in need. He finds a cracked egg and stuffs it under a hen to hatch. She won't have it. He asks other the chickens to take it in and hatch it. They refuse, so Dinky takes it home with him. Later, a hawk raids the chicken yard and even chases Dinky into his house but... out of the egg pops a little eagle, Band-Aid on his head. Needless to say, the baby eagle saves the day. When an evil fox comes to grab Dinky, he finds a giant eagle coming to Dinky's rescue.

Very patriotic. I remember feeling very proud of being an American at a very young age when I saw the eagle come out of the coup to save Dinky Ducky, representing all the little people in America.
