Do all breeds of ducks dislike being picked up and carried around?

Do all breeds of ducks dislike being picked up and carried around? I raised a male call duck since he was two weeks old. When he was young he liked being carried around. Now he is 7 months old and hates being picked up and carried around.

Will the same experience be true for Pekin or other breed of ducks?

And why are chickens easier to carry around than ducks? Is it because they can perch on your arm unlike ducks?

I have three different breeds of ducks, and none of them like being picked up. When one had a limping issue, I was so excited I got to hold her for a few minutes to check her feet.

Almost all of the silkies on the other hand, I can walk up to in the yard and just pick them up.

I've heard this before about ducks so guess it's just their nature.
