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?
