Actually, it's pretty common In fact, moulards, which are used in the meat industry, are crosses of pekins and muscovies. Muscovy hybrids aren't rare to get at all - they're pretty much the duck equivalent of mules. When given the option, the two species tend to prefer to stick to their own kind, but if you put a 'scovy drake in with mallard derived females or vice versa, they will breed easily and produce fertile eggs

More info on them here and here.

you can breed a hybrid Muscovy duck female to a full Muscovy male so saying they can be breed is not intirerly true

Interesting - do you have some info I can read on this? What I had read said that though the hinnies lay eggs, the eggs cannot hatch and are sterile. If that's not true, I don't want to be passing on incorrect information, so if you have a link where I can read about hatch rates and fertility rates, I'd be interested to read it
