Moscovy ducks are capable of breeding and producing offspring. If crossed with other ducks however they will produce sterile offspring, like a mule. the cross between a horse and donkey or a zebra crossed with a horse. If you go to a local pond and watch in the spring you will see them buzzing around with whole troops of ducklings. That means the males posses the aparatus to mate with as you inquired.
