Much to my surprise every one of the swan eggs in my incubator hatched.There was one that had a smell & looked like it wasnt going to hatch..what a great surprise.
SOme of them took 2 days to pip their way out, some hatched an hour after i checked the shell & didnt even see a pip. The hatch was staggered over 4 days.


These are some very hardy babies, they are all eating & drinking & have started slinging water everywhere..boy do they make a mess

They are about the size of BIG baby geese. The brooder theyre in is one of those clear totes from walmart..they will out of it anyday now..they are growing fast.

Im not keeping all of them, I know i will be selling 4 for sure. They are so friendly, they have already started following me ..single file in a line..its VERY cute.
I will start integrating them into my flock today by letting them run around with the rest of my crew for a little while here and there. I like everyone to get along.
