I have a Buff roo and 4 hens. Someone has offered me 3 black hens. What will the babies be if he fertilizes the black hens' eggs?

Thanks
 
Phenotypes:
Pullets:
fawn/dun unicolor
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4

Pullets:
black unicolor
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4

Cockerels:
fawn/dun unicolor
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4

Cockerels:
black unicolor
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
 
So overall, it's 50% will be black and 50% will be Dun? And to show my ignorance a little more, what is a Dun Orp? Multi-colored or diluted Buff?
BTW, I am NOT planning on hatching anytime soon....just wondering what might happen.
