Well, the easy way (but a unpure bred way) is to breed a khaki hen, to a mallard (or rouen) drake, then breed those ducklings together and you have chocolates!

Not technically though because they wouldn't carry the dun gene. Or the chocolate gene. I think.

Yes, but not from mallard x self chocolate. You'd get all black bibbed ducklings with a chocolate hen and mallard drake, chocolate drake over mallard are sex linked, black bibbed males, chocolate bibbed females. Do you mean solid chocolate or chocolate mallard patterned?

Lol. Like a khaki?
If you can figure this thing out it's pretty helpful at telling you what colors you'll get, but it's a bit confusing.

One mallard drake and the 2 or 3 of another breed. But I need help in determining that other breed. They have the chocolate runners available so I was thinking about those.
