Mottled cochin x Splash cochin = Blue mottled?

I heard that if you breed a black mottled to a blue splash that you get blue mottled, is this true?

no. is not true. why? the mottling gene(mo) is a recessive gene. and to be expressed it needs to copies of it. so if you cross any type of mottled bird to a none mottled one you will get bird that are Mo+/mo Mo+ is the dominant none mottling gene... BUT if you cross the resulting chicks of the cross(F1xF1) you should get a few blue mottled ones...
