muscovy drake mated with mallard duck

[xenia4]

hello ... i need some help... i got 2 muscovy drakes and 2 females also a pair of white mallard ducks and a a pair of brown ..
so the muscovy drake mated with the mallard ducks....

i seperated them now but i need to know how many days have to pass so as the duck eggs are not fertile from the muscovy but from her own mallard male...

i wanted to put some eggs to my incubator but i do not want to have a sterile duclings as a result or whatever comes from that combination ... does anyone know??

Yes because the Mallard and Muscovy are separate species they will produce hybrid ducks. As for how long you have to wait http://w.madsci.org/posts/archives/2005-05/1116537441.Zo.r.html.

Are you sure that your mallards are brown or are they grey, and are your white ones all white or are they snowy?

this looks like my brown pair , well the male does not look exactly like him but the female is the same

and these are my white owns i used to have 4 but i only kept a pair you can say snowy as a colour.... the link you gave does not open.....

Yes the ones on the top are considered Grey (and/or mallard color) the white one are just white ones.
This is an example of a Snowy:

Those look like mallard pekin mixes, like to big to be full bred mallard( when I say full mallard I mean like 100% )

But any way youll probably get some mule ducks.

If you breed mule ducks with certain breeds you can get some really good meat ducks such as a Pekin/Muscovy cross

mule ducks cant breed. they are infertile.

Yes and if you breed a muscoy to a pekin they butcher those sterile offspring for meat.
