Good breed for a pekin mate?

[DuckMochi]

So my pekin drake has recently became sexually mature but the only other duck I have is a mallard hen and she is clearly much too small for him. Luckily he has not been aggressive with her at all about mating yet and whenever he attempts to she just ignores him and walks away (poor guy) but in the chance that he does start getting aggressive and hurting her due to their size difference I’m going to have to get him a bigger girlfriend. But I like having different kinds of duck breeds! Sunni as a drake is loud enough as it is and I can’t imagine how loud a pekin hen would be and since we live in the city I don’t want to get noise complaints. But I know that’s just a risk you have to take with most ducks.

Aside from all that, what duck breeds would be suitable for my big guy? As in which breeds aren’t too small for him?

If you don't want a loud breed I would suggest either a Buff or a cayuga duck..

Blue Swedish are nice--only slightly smaller than pekins. (EDT: mine aren't loud, but I've just read that others of the breed are, so disregard this recommendation)
And of course, Cayaugas have a lot of proponents. They're very pretty.

Rouen, Swedish = any of the mallard derived breeds.

I had a Cayuga (the one in my profile picture). She passed away but she was beautiful. Not sure if I have the heart to get another Cayuga though..

Another Pekin in my opinion..Nothing too much smaller than him..

I’m sure you won’t have trouble finding a Pekin for him. Mine isn’t too loud. She’s no more loud than my cayugas.

I’ll try to get a video of Marshmallow next time I’m outside for comparison.

Thanks for asking this question!! I would really like to get 2 welsh or sliver appleyard breed to go with pekins.... but I'm just not sure yet!

I would do something in between the 2 sizes. A Swedish or Buff would probably be best.
