    "Feeding times" for Swans

    Since I only have one duck (Cayuga) with my swans, I didn't realize they are big eaters. I would suggest using the type of feeder that I recommend. It is a converted dog feeder that I mount on the edge of the pond attached to a piece of pipe with a "U" bolt. Having it attached to a U bolt...

    What is a good diet for mute swans?

    What an awesome setup ! You obviously love your swans! I breed/raise mutes, trumpeters and Australian Blacks. I do not go this extreme. In their natural settings the SUV's are enough to sustain them quite well. Being in captivity is quite a different story. Currently I have (10) 9 month...

    What is a good diet for mute swans?

    Where to buy swans at a reasonable price?

    I to have “heard” of swans killing a human. All I can say is hogwash! If you have an article that states then please send it to me.

    Why don't my ducks like the pond?

    Same here, beginning of spring both my geese and ducks loved the water. Then all of a sudden they won’t go near it! I have several big snappers also and I think that’s the issue. Problem is, I can’t keep them out of my pond. News ones find there way almost every day!
