Brown/yellow ducklings~2-mo-old~new pic added~

Thanks!
From ALBC Ancona page: "Varieties include Black and White, Blue and White, Chocolate and White, Silver and White, Lavender and White, and Tricolored. Chocolate is a sex-linked recessive trait. If a chocolate drake mates with a black duck, all female offspring will be chocolate, while all male offspring will be black. A black drake mated to a chocolate duck produces all black offspring. Only male offspring will carry the sex-linked recessive chocolate gene. (Holderread 1985, 4 "
I only have the pair of these 'possibly' Ancona, so the 'black pied' drake (that's him in the pic above) is sex-linked recessive brown. Does that mean ALL chocolate daughters or a % of chocolate daughters with his 'black pied' mate.
What would I get mating him (sex-linked recessive brown) to his brown daughters?

Hi! The Halloween hatched ducklings just found their 'adult voices' and you were right!
All the chocolate / brown ones are GIRLS!! That crested Pekin is a girl, too.
So, What would I get mating him (sex-linked recessive brown drake) to his brown daughters?

Far right is a splash Silkie girl.
It's pretty cool because I never noticed before *exactly* when any of my ducklings have gotten their 'adult voices'. Yesterday, these were still making 'baby talk', but they greeted me this morning with with distinct 'adult voices'.
They are 2-months-old today!

Only seams like yesterday they were born. They grow in a hurry dont they. Thanks for posting a pic so we can see how big they are. And look at that chicken, she thinks shes something else dont she. Sly my big Jumbo Pekin changed voice over night too. 1 day she was peeping at me, the next day she was like fog horn leg horn, loud and deep, I swear shes half goose.
 
Hi! Thanks goodness they grow fast. I sold part of that hatch, all of the next weeks hatch, got 3 ducklings left from the next weeks hatch, and more hatching today.
I'm so glad I kept 3 of the chocolate Ancona ducklings from that hatch --- because I haven't hatched ANY more chocolates, just black/whites.
