swan babies

I have two questions for you: Every spring are Royal Mute swans have babies. For the past two years something has gotten to the babies. One day they are there and the next they are gone. We have seen an eagle hanging around our house. Could this be what is "eating" our babies? Can a hawk or turtle also be taking the babies? Question #2: We thought about catching mom and her babies and keeping them in a stall in our barn till they are big enough. What should we feed them? Please let me know if you have any ideas for us to try.
