The worry is that a big drake could drown a smaller hen.
We have a real mixed bag of breeds here, but the Pekin is a girl and the bantam (Australian Spotted) is a boy, so they've been okay so far, except that the guy can't balance on the girl's back, which leads to all sorts of frustration. Our other two were supposed to be Australian Spotteds, too, but a Cayuga/Blue Swedish drake apparently had other plans. We got one blue with a brown head boy and a black with brown pencilling girl from that union.
