I have two Muscovy females currently sitting on a nest of their first eggs. I was reading that as the Muscovy are classed as an actual seperate species of Duck due to 90% of all other ducks are derived from the Mallards. So my question is that by interbreeding my Muscovy to the Pekin this way is it true that their babies (any ducklings / drakelets) will be born sterile??

A unique anomaly is possible. I have 31 kinds of ducks
at a reserve study of eggs for people food. That is I started
with 21 kinds 16 years ago. These are all from continued
on site breeding, some wild flocks do visit, though they do not
have housing or much time near the flocks. The varieties is
partly because ducks trust farmers according to genetic
brain report more than any other farm species with their
housing plan and trading activities. This says to us that
they may have crossbred histories, chromosomes can be
popped up according to their own intellectual scheduels of
all history survival trait, selection. Infertility is really not a
character of a strong species like you have. The color is
a characteristic that makes ducks self reserved. This match
could bring on ancestries when they came of lite blue,
and shiny green the recent strong populated variety.

I used to work at a pet store and the company we used to buy muscovy and mallard ducks said that there is so much inbreeding that goes on with these breeds that it is destroying them. I would recommend not breeding them, but if you do, the offspring would probably be able to reproduce.

They will most likely be fertile.
