Best Answer

In a single hatching, a duck may have from 5 to 14 ducklings (or slightly more) depending on the species. Mallards and American Black Ducks have an average of 9 to 11 eggs in one group.

Female ducks may hatch several annual groups over their lifetime.

Ducks generally mate during the spring and warm months of the year. How often depends on the climate they live in. The male duck has genitalia will disappear in the fall, and reappear in the spring.

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.
