      I think this is cleaner. Dropping ハクチョウ wouldn't be consistent with our usual style for animal entries.
Daijr and smk have the "white bird" sense for はくちょう.

      I'll go along with the split. I'll approve and reopen.

      In that case, my vote would be to just hide ハクチョウ.

      For aesthetic reasons, I'd support splitting out しらとり/しろとり. I'm not fond of this sort of merge when there are [nokanji] readings.
I don't think "cygnet" is needed as a gloss. We don't have "puppy" for 犬.
