I think you best bet would be to breed your female Dun offspring back to the pure Black Mottled Cochins, that will give half blacks and half duns and half of them would be mottled so basicly the same percentages that you listed.

Yes once you can breed mottled to mottled you will get all mottled and once you breed dun mot to dun mot you will get all three colors of mottled chicks. This should be an awesome color. Good luck

And DANNY I second the request for pics of your Duns.

Here is a couple of pictures of the dun cochin project. They are still young but getting better each time. These are F3's.

Anyone know what color this one would be? It looks kinda molted but has a lot of brown.
