Looks like a Muscovy cross. Maybe with Pekin? Or Black Swedish?

its a mule , from what i can see , amiga is right, it will lay eggs but they wont be fertile.
Amiga is very good at this kind of stuff you should trust her opinion.

I didn't read through all the posts, but I have a trick that works with my chickens. Last winter, no eggs from Dec on. So, an old guy told me, or I read somewhere, that you can add a bit of cayenne pepper to their feed. I thought this is stupid. But, in the Dollar Tree one day I saw a bottle of cayenne pepper, I thought, why not. Took it home added some to their feed and the next day, egg. I kept giving them pepper for a couple days. Eggs every day. I thought, well, they may just be starting to lay again. Stopped the cayenne. Eggs stopped. Don't know the science here, but it works. With chickens anyway.

i dont know if ducks can have that but ill look into it.

did some reserch on it yes your right ducks can have cayenne pepper, some people say its fine and other say its not good for your duck, saying it oled to a discharage from the anus that smelled terrible and the duck was not gaining much weight and began to lose some. other say it led for more active ducks. so it seems like a two way street.

Something must be wrong with her reproduction tract. Very sorry for no eggs but hopefully she makes a nice pet. Maybe more females added to you flock for eggs?
