Male ducks ( Drakes) will fight each other for mates and if you observe them will sometimes try and mate with a female in water..this looks like he is drowning her.
Female ducks will sometimes (I have seen this with my own eyes) try to drown another duck's ducklings. This is a horrible sight. The cause of these 'killings' is the natural instinct to survive. The mothers both want their ducklings to have the best chance of survival.

How long after mating do black swans lay their eggs?
After mating and building the nest, there is approximately 2-3 weeks before the egg laying begins. Once the female begins to lay, she will produce a new egg every 12-24 hours and it can take up to 2-3 weeks before all the eggs are laid. Once she has laid all her eggs then the incubation period begins and usually lasts about 6 weeks before hatching. Males and Females alternate sitting on the eggs during the incubation period.

I have cared for two wild mute swans for about 5 years now and feed them JJ's sweet feed. It's a blend of grains, wheat and corn that is actually a horse and cattle feed. A 50# bag at the local Agway store is just $10 and they eat about 5# a day at most so the cost is very minimal. Just $1 a day for such a great pleasure! The river is almost totally frozen over and as they need water, I break holes in the ice and put the food in and around the hole. They can reach down almost 3 feet with their long necks.
They are larger, more powerful, havier and less aerodynamic than other waterfowl.

The black swan is a vegetarian. It eats grass and other plants.Bird seed works as does most things you would put into a compost bin. The thing to remember is that swans (black, white or otherwise) mate for life. For feeding that means that you have to know when mating is happening and be sure to provide extra protein enriched goodies. Also, be sure the animals have adequate shelter.
