Both those breeds are very broody, so I don't see why not?

Is the male infertile so the females still lay eggs?

 

[casportpony]

but mine are Runner or Rouen / Muscovy. Are the ones you might be getting Pekin cross?

Yes.

I had a hen who made a nest, pulled feathers, and went broody on 3 apples. I gave her fertile eggs, and she successfully hatched and raised the ducklings. Mine was a mallard/Muscovy cross, and she never laid eggs.
