Hi Jeanne:

Thanks for the update. As long as the female is still sitting on the nest, she believes that the eggs are viable and she is the most important one in this equation. If she walks away, then you know that the eggs have no chance of hatching. Let us know how this progresses, especially with the little cygnet. The Regal Swan
