In Response To: Very hard shells on swan eggs (Verdell)

Hi Verdell:

We recommend that swans of all ages be fed a mixture of 50% cracked corn and 50% poultry layer pellets. The cracked corn acts as a filler and also provides the much needed Vitamin A.

The poultry layer pellets provide the necessary mineral, calcium for healthy eggs, as well as other essential minerals, vitamins and micronutrients.

We would also suggest that you supplement this food with lettuce, especially during the winter months when aquatic and other vegetation is scarce. We hope that this information is of benefit. The Regal Swan
