Hello,
I have 2 swans that have mated and have laid 4 eggs, the female has nested and 2 of the eggs have hatched, now that the 2 babies have hatched the mother doesn't want to anything to do with the remaining 2 eggs that haven't hatched. What should I do with the remaining eggs? Will the mother come around and the remaining eggs hatch?
