Some say it is better to have males vs females, but it is a personal choice as well as the personality of the individual swans. Our suggested breeder is Bob Knox, from Knox Swans in Illinois. You can google, Knox Swans and it will provide you contact information.

Some states now require a permit to have mute swans, so you may need to investigate if Kentucky Wildlife Commission reguires such a permit. Additionally, the need for protection against predators also needs to be considered such as a night pen (covered top to bottom, i.e., chain link fencing). This depends on the presence of predators in your area. We hope this information is of benefit. The Regal Swan
