Swans Hatching, well cygnets (chicks)! You see the baby cygnets coming right out of the eggs. It was a warm day yesterday, Kings Day 2020 here in The Netherlands, so the hatchlings were tired and needed to rest when half way out of the opened egg shell. How cute is that! Aren’t they just amazing to look at these small swans or cygnets as they are called. (I used to call them swanlings or swan ducklings, but the proper term is cygnets)
Zwan jong in het Nederlands. (Dutch)
“Swan chicks are commonly referred to as cygnets. Hatching usually occurs from June to July. The hatchlings are covered with down and their eyes are open. Within 24 hours of hatching, the cygnets are able to leave the nest and another day later, they are able swim and dive under water to escape danger. The cygnets weigh only about 7 - 10.5 ounces (~ 200 - 300 grams) when they hatch; but grow quickly gaining 20% of their body weight every day at the early stages. By the time they take their first flight they weigh about 15.5 pounds (7 kilograms).” Source: [ Ссылка ]
