I got one drake and two ducklings lost the hen he was with to a Coo or fox but I'm getting more babies as soon as they hatch from my grandpas

I heard the scovy pekin mix will be sterile I have a hen on a nest full and her boyfriend is pekin.

THat's kinda true.
The first cross will hatch.
The offspring of a cross are called mules.
But, just like when a donkey and a horse are crossed - the resulting offspring are sterile.

All other breeds of ducks are mallard type - EXCEPT scovies.
They are the donkeys of the duck world.

The mule ducks will still lay eggs but they won't hatch.
99% of the mule drakes will be sterile.

Enjoy your babies! Just know the babies won't have babies.
