do you know if they will breed together since there different kinds?
Yes they will, we had some pekin x khaki ducks. I did incubate them though. We’ve had 2 pekins who were broody but not so good about consistently staying on the nest. Here’s some pics of the mix. My kids named them luke & darth, both drakes.

im new to the duck language, when you say you incubated them, meaning the eggs what did you exactly do, in case mine do have eggs down the road

also which duck is the make and female in your case, my male is the khaki and female is pekin, will that matter?

You just buy an incubator, a machine which warms the eggs to 37.5 degrees (usually automatically turns them too, though personally mine was faulty so I handturned 5 times a day)
If you do decide to incubate, temp and humidity are important to measure, so it's necessary to buy separate thermometers and hygrometers and calibrate them, rather than trusting the machine's readings (incubators are usually not very accurate)

pekins dont often go broody, the ones that do rarely sit on their eggs consistently (theres always exceptions, though)
So likely you will have to incuabte the eggs yourself if you wish to hatch from them
