THE HEALTHY CYGNETS are READY
for their New Homes.
*****************************

We did the DNA for most Pond Raised Cygnets around 15-18 Weeks.
Which is 105-128 Days Old.. They have LOTs of True Feathers.
If the Cygnets Survived the Perils of Summer OUT on the Ponds
with their Parents, they had a Good Chance of Growing into Adults.
Plus, their Legs are Mature enough to Place an ID Band and NOT
need to Change them.. Their Legs are Close to Adult Size-Diameter..
By 5 Months Old they are Well Feathered.
Hopefully, if there are any Genetic Defects.. they have Demonstrated..

Mute Swan CygnetsThe Cygnets’ Legs will Grow more Slowly now.
Mute Swan CygnetsWing Feathers are Well Developed by Now.
If NOT Pinioned – Learn and Plan to Clip.
The Cygnets will start to WORK their Shoulder Muscles.
Before Long they WILL Try to FLY.
