DEAR REGAL SWAN PROJECT.....HELLO AGAIN! GOOD NEWS IS WE HAVE 3 CYGNETS ON A NEST THAT HAVE HATCHED. I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA. WE ARE VERY EXCITED! MY QUESTIONS ARE WE ARE NOT SURE OF HOW OLD THE BABIES ARE. WE ARE WONDERING IF THE MAMA IS WAITING ON MORE EGGS TO HATCH. WE ARE HOPING SHE BRINGS THEM OFF THE NEST SOON. SHOULD WE INTERVENE IF SHE CONTINUES TO STAY ON THE NEST WITH NEWLY HATCHED BABIES? WE DO NOT WANT THE LITTLE ONES TO FAIL AND NOT MAKE IT. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE RECOMMEND THAT WE GO AND DISTURB HER OFF THE NEST....WHAT DO YOU THINK?
ALSO....THESE CYGNETS ARE BABIES THAT ARE WITH HER SON FROM 2 YEARS AGO...WE ARE HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE NORMAL AND NOT DEFORMED DUE TO GENETIC ABNORMALITIES.
ANY ADVICE YOU HAVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED~ ! SHE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ON THE NEST FOR A WHILE. MANY THANKS! SONIA MESRY
