Our New Cygnets (pics)

[warcard]

Here are our new cygnets, born Saturday

We wanted 3 just to try and be sure to get a pair, but Mom only hatched 4 babies and we couldn't leave the last one all by itself

Once we have them sexed we hope to sell the extra two so we don't have any fighting.

There really are 4 just look closely.

How wonderful! We have swans on the ranch, and they are some of the coolest creatures! You must of course post pics as they grow....

Did you find the eggs By a lake or do you have the Parents

Oh how adorable!

We bought them from a gentleman who has the parents. He has tried to let the parents take care of the babies, but predators always get them

They are Mute Swans.

I wouldn't mind having a swan pair.

Quick question: Do you have to have a pond for them? Or will a plastic pool or large tub pond work?
