When cygnets hatch, they typically leave the nest shortly after emerging from their eggs, often within a day. They are precocial birds, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile at hatching. Cygnets usually follow their parents to water, where they learn to swim and forage for food. The parents keep a close watch on them during this vulnerable period.

Mallard duck nesting on about 17 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs should remove the baby chicks from her when hatched so she will stay on the duck eggs until they hatch?

:: Answer place here (by supervisor) from discussion page;: That is way to many eggs for one duck to hatch. 8-12 is about the largest number of eggs for a nest. The mother will more than likely leave the duck eggs when most of the chicks hatch. I am not sure if you remove the chicks if she will stay sitting each duck is different. Some will stay with the nest to try to hatch the rest of the eggs but other will leave the nest completely.

How do cygnets hatch from their eggs?

Cygnets hatch from their eggs through a process known as pipping, where the chick uses its egg tooth, a small, hard structure on its beak, to break through the eggshell. After several hours of pecking, the cygnet gradually creates a hole large enough to escape. Once hatched, the cygnets are typically wet and rely on their parents for warmth and protection as they dry and gain strength. This hatching process usually occurs after about 35 to 40 days of incubation by the mother swan.
