Hi Brenda

Excellent news. As long as no predators can get to her, you could go ahead and let her nest. Or, if there are no eggs, go ahead and try to capture or lure them back to their area and put down some straw. Hopefully, they will stay a your property. If there are eggs, you can let her nest and hatch the cygnets. She will keep the cygnets on the nest for two weeks. Get some help and try to capture the family and take them back to your property. Keep them with you until late afternoon, place straw in their normal area and place the cygnets and family on the straw. The parents will keep them in the area overnight and hopefully, will remain to be fed by you and your staff. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. The Regal Swan
