Which breeds of drakes are known to be more aggressive? Pekins? Cayugas?

[Jenbirdee]

i have a 4 month old standard pekin drake and a 3 month old cayuga/fawn&white runner drake.
i only want to keep one. i have 16 hens but 6 of them are elderly and 2 of the one year olds have prolapsed twice each and so i just don’t want too much action around here lol. i’ve been watching them, but it’s hard to tell if either has a rough personality yet or not. and i know someone who will take the pekin, but not the cayuga mix.

I was also thinking in the future if I keep the pekin, he can make pekin babies with my pekin hens. and they might be more valuable to have and/or sell.
If I keep the Cayuga mix, and he mates with his Cayuga mother, will the babies be real Cayugas? and therefore possibly more valuable?
( they would be 3/4 cayuga?)
the Cayuga mix drake i have is a charcoal color.

I think I did once hear that Pekin drakes are known to be more aggressive than other breeds??? Is this true?

I would definitely keep the Cayuga.
Pekins in my experience are far to assertive.

Perkins in my experience are far to assertive.

well, that works just perfectly because I already have someone who wants him thank you so much

@KathiQuacks @cheezenkwackers do you know any answers to my questions? especially the one about the half Cayuga Drake meeting with his Cayuga mother.

It would still be a mix.

I see auto correct has struck again lol. Yup it changed Pekins to Perkins on me.

Anyhoo...

I am glad you have a good option for him.

Once a mix always a mix. It's a forever thing.

If I remember right, I was told it took 3 generations before they were considered pure again. But, genetically, he could father ducklings which would look pure. I have had success keeping young sweet drakes with older girls. My mature girls help teach them manners.
