From what I have read, yes but they will only lay a few, if any, during a season. From a breeding perspective, the only thing they are reliable for would be as pets or meat.
I just saw this thread. I had some mule ducks hatch a few years ago. I don't remember the details of their hatching, can't help you there. I still have two of the drakes and they are special guys.
Feathersite has info on the mules that is good. Mine are from a malard derivity over muscovy. The drakes are large, body shape more like the domestic, voice a blend of scovy & domestic. Nice sheen on the feathers.
The hens are small, lay small eggs - that have yokes - that will not hatch, but are good to eat. The hens will go broody and if you substitute other duck eggs for hers, she will do a great job of hatching the eggs and raising the ducklings.
I don.t have any experience when the scovy is the dad.
Hope you have a great hatch....
