Swan Eggs!

[warcard]

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Our Mute swan pair is only 2 and they laid eggs!

Is it possible the eggs will be fertile? Is it normal for the eggs to be varying shades of green? I know I can look this up in the books, but how long until they hatch?

If they hatch I will be looking to rehome the babies.

I'd sell the eggs, but since I wasn't expecting them I'm not sure when exactly they've been laid, and at least this afternoon when we got home someone sat on them for a couple hours so they might already be started.

I have heard that they will lay eggs at two, but they are most likely not fertile.

same here, if you had an older male you would have better chances, but there's one sure fire way to know for sure, incubate them suckers!! I want to say it's 30-33 days, but dont quote me on that
