Well, that should be impossible, but the way genes and mutations are treated in Warhammer seems a bit wanky, so if you wanna write/imagine some story like that (I won't kink-shame), you can probably say that warpstone-exposure was involved somehow, and that it's unpredictable, mutagenic and sometimes life-giving qualities somehow allowed the genes to meld.

If that happened, I suspect the other skaven would go ahead and hurt or kill the hybrid spawn, either as an excuse just for fun or to eat them, or because if some sincere religious or ideological belief. Skaven like to bully(to the point of murder), and they're superstitious and paranoid, they often don't take kindly to that which isn't "propper skaven", so such a hybrid would at best be treated as highly suspect, and they would probably have to at least look mostly like a skaven.

I also suspect that the upper-class skaven wouldn't be too pleased with such a thing, I get the impression they like to control which skaven do and do not get to breed, so raising skaven offspring outside of their sanctioning might get you in trouble.
