Muscovies live for about five or so years. I do not know if females live any longer than males of vice -versa. Generally they live about the same lifespan.
It takes about three months for the Muscovy duck to fully mature. These ducks are known for their large size and odd markings.
Yes, you can keep ducks and chickens together as long as they have enough space and can coexist peacefully. When keeping ducks and chickens together, it's generally best to have more female ducks than male ducks to prevent aggression, since male ducks can sometimes be overly amorous towards female chickens. Female ducks (hens) are a good choice for ease of integration with chickens.
Muscovy ducks typically take about 35 days to hatch from the time the eggs are consistently incubated. It's important to maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels during the incubation process for successful hatching.
Call duck eggs typically take around 26-28 days to hatch, but the exact time can vary slightly depending on temperature and humidity levels during incubation. It's important to maintain stable conditions for the eggs to ensure a successful hatch.
Muscovy ducks do not exhibit strong maternal instincts like some other duck species. If you touch a Muscovy duckling, the mother may not necessarily reject it as long as it still smells like it and she identifies it as her own. However, it's generally best to avoid handling ducklings unless necessary to avoid stressing the mother duck.
Never. Ducks aren't mammals.
yes you can as long as there is no female ducks around :)

I read recently on line that Muscovy's take longer than all other ducks, and all others are 28 days... I want to say Muscovy's was 30 or 31 days, but not positive. google helped me.
Yes, they can and probably often do.

About 28 - 30 days
Sperm can live inside of a female for up to five days after intercourse.
