Pruning mint
I'm guessing they would be sterile. Because I had up to 11 different
breeds of duck, only one breed were allowed out of their yard each day during breeding season. I had way too many orders to get caught up with crossbreeds.

I have heard that before, and certainly Muscovies are very goose-like (they hiss rather than quack). But they cross-breed with other ducks, so I guess that makes them the same species? Horses and donkeys interbreed and they are the same species being both from the equidae family. The offspring (mules and hinnies) are (almost) always sterile. I'm fairly sure that the same "species" rule applies to both Muscovies and ducks and I know that the sterility bit does. I've yet to hear of the offspring of the duck/muscovy mating being fertile. |
