Before I got her, I had two dreams in which I was calling out, "Jupiter" to a pet goose. Even though it's associated with the Roman God of Gods, I decided it works for both genders.
This is her at 6 days old. She's 10 days old today.
Yes, she is. She's a big momma's girl too! I go back and forth between her, and my Ancona Drake (Hiccup) as to which one is my favorite. When I bought her, I couldn't decide on a name, and actually one of my friends on BYC suggested it. I went with it, and it seems to suit her.
aww! If you want small ones, the Australian Spotted Ducks are tiny, and still really colorful too. When I first saw them I wanted some, but my other ducks are big (three times the size of an Australian) so I'll have to wait til I can provide a different pen for them.
