Muscovies readily breed mules with other breeds. We have success with Pekins, which makes a very tasty table duck. The Khaki should have no problems with a couple of Muscovy hens, if you get them young enough to bond with him.
Muscovies are a very tasty bird even as a pure bred, and breed very well. The meat isn't as fatty as normal ducks, but I reckon even tastier. Our hens will sit on 20 eggs, and are they one of the best incubators (even for chook eggs) that we have come across. This can be a bit of a problem sometimes as they will steal unattended eggs to sit on! They grow quickly, we get 2kg dressed after 10-12 weeks, and if you time butchering to miss the pin feathers they are easy to process. They are very good protective mothers, even our German Shepherd won't go near a mother and her brood. Eggs are very full of flavour, excellent for cooking and baking. I like the strong flavour in my poached eggs for brekky, some are not so keen on it.
As noted above they are not a duck that most people are used to, but they are still a duck. They don't quack only hiss and squeak (makes them ideal for city yards) and will sit for 35 days. They are classed as a "Perching Duck" and they will roost in trees. They are a South American duck that has many similarities to geese, which has caused some confusion in their classification.
Even if we have no other birds we keep a trio of Muscovies for eggs and meat.
