Last summer, I spent a week with Ali and Mike Lubbock of Sylvan Heights Waterfowl for an internship and my dad and I are also good friends with them. They successfully keep black and blackneck swans with other waterfowl, but trumpeters, whoopers, and mutes are too aggressive during breeding season to be kept with other waterfowl.

I think that is SO cool that yout friends with them I've always wanted to go there. I think I'll buy a pair of the black swans. Does mike sell them? To private collection if so how much? It would give me a good excuse to go there and visit!

What about coscorobas?

They are smaller I had gotten mine tame but I sold them 2 years a go I had 3 nest of them you can keep them with any duck and I managed to house them with 3 pairs of goose and 10 pairs of wood ducks. I moved 2 years ago so I had. To sell most of them because I wanted to get my chikens and pheasent set up first in a good pen

That's good I like them both a lot! But I'm prob gonna get the blacks because they sell for a lot around here plus there cheaper to buy.

Mike usually does sell birds but I am not sure if he had any swans available when we were there last which was about two weeks ago when I went to pick up some birds from him. They did have black swans beginning to lay and sit on nests. They also had coscorobas and blacknecks on nests and with babies hatched. It is a very cool place to go and visit and the internship program is great if you ever have a chance to go you definitely should. Mike has taught me a lot and I'm sure if you go he can share some of that knowledge with you.
