How long do black swan eggs take to hatch?
I am not an expert, but have been learning much about Swans. We rescued an injured Mute Swan from a local River and have been caring for him at a Swan Farm in Pennsylvania.
It take approximately 35-40 days from the time the last egg in a clutch is laid. In cooler weather it may take the longer time. In the U.S. Black Swans may nest twice a year once in September and again in late February early March. In cold weather the tiny cygnets will need shelter and supplemental food. The tiny hatchlings will enjoy shredded dark green leaf lettuce and spinach. There are recommended poultry feeds for the little ones, some need to be ground finer... Sunny afternoons in pond or pool water helps strength their little legs and provides Vitamin D. Any tiny cygnets placed in a kiddy pool MUST have a way to get out safely. Keep the water very shallow for several weeks. It is fun to see the changes as they develop into adults. I enjoy the "chirpy" sounds they make.
