Whose the daddy?

[The quackless quackery]

So I am new to ducks, or any waterfowl and poultry for that matter. I currently have three muscovies, one hen and two drakes. I have the hen and one drake separate from the other drake. The hen I have is a light brown color and the drake is a chocolate. The drake comes from a line of all chocolates. My other drake, that is separate from the other two, is black, and comes from a mix color flock. The black drake broke into the other ducks pen, and I am not sure if he mated the hen but was only in there for a couple hours at most. Then hen began laying about 4 days after this. I have a home lined up for my chocolate drake, and was planning on keeping 2 hens from this clutch and the hen I already have and breeding them with the black drake, but now I need to verify who the dad is so I don't inbreed. The ducklings have not hatched yet, the hen has a few more days of laying before she will sit so I have time to figure out how to determine who is the dad. Does anyone have any advice? I know the chocolate drake is most likely the dad, but I want to be sure, and need a way to verify this. I will post pictures in comments of the ducks.

They do have grassy area to forage as well, but this is their kennel for at night and they have destroyed all of the grass in it.

It really doesn't matter with Ducks if they do inbreed...Its more than likely the one that broke into the pen is not the father....
Post pictures once they hatch...

Ok, I will. Thank you. I know it isn't that big of a deal if they inbreed, but I would like to avoid it as much as possible. In the long run it is not healthy for the flock of it continues so I would like to get ahead of it now instead of waiting until future generations.
