Yes, they can but any offspring will be sterile.​

A duck is a duck and all ducks...


Muscovies are ducks thought their DNA is similar to geese more so than ducks. And yes, A Scovie will breed with a regular mallard derived breed, but the offspring of this arrangement will be sterile - meaning the fertility rate will me close to 0%.
