I'm new to keeping/breeding ducks and I was wondering if silky ducks and indian runner ducks can cross breed? I have a male silky and some female runners together and was wondering if they can hatch fertile offspring

As far as I know, in domestic duck flocks, the only cross that will produce infertile, mule ducks, is mallard-type with muscovy. So if the silky is a mallard descendent as are the runners, I would expect fertile offspring.

they would produce cute little only slightly upright ducks that would be slick like a normal duck and still carry the silky gene.
