Best Answer

When a swan hatches it is a grey or brown color that helps them camouflage against the ground. As they grow and become stronger they become white.

Baby swans, called cygnets, are born with grey feathers as a form of camouflage to help them blend in with their surroundings and avoid predators. As they mature, their feathers gradually change to white over a period of several months.
