Gold neck d'uccle, black mottled d'uccle, red laced blue Wyandotte, campine? Which will do better in

I have to get one chicken, should I get a gold neck d'uccle, black molted d'uccle, campine, or red laced blue Wyandotte? I want to get something not a lot of people have and something that will do good in shows. Please give me ideas.

Those are all quite unusual varieties.

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are not accepted to the standard in the large fowl, and will have a serious handicap in shows.
Gold and Silver Campines are both accepted to the standard, but are fairly uncommon, especially in show quality fowl.
The d'uccle are lovely birds, gentle and nice to handle. Mottled is often a difficult color pattern to do well.

Depending on what you mean by "do good in shows" and what kinds of shows you compete at, having a rare breed may not be in your favor. If it is an APA/ABA show, then probably you will win your breed or variety because you are the only one showing. However, all these breeds are uncommon enough that it is unlikely you will advance further. If you are competing in a fair situation, where they might not have individual breed classes, your birds might not pin at all.

Find a breed that you enjoy, and then find the best breeder you can that handles that breed and variety. You may find that choosing a more commonly bred breed - perhaps one that is less popular in your area - where many breeders have exhibition quality flocks will actually get you better show results. Your library likely has a copy of the standard. Use that and find any pictures you can of the breed you choose to develop your eye for what is desirable in your breed.

Remember that most of the time you won't be at shows - you want a breed that pleases you every morning when you go out to feed.

Good luck.

The best way to do the best in shows is to have the best quality bird. Breed does not matter in that any recognized breed and variety can win show champion; they all compete against each other for that. As was just stated, the amount of time caring for the birds is far greater than the time in hte show hall. Get birds you enjoy the personality of, and get the best quality you can find.

If you want to have birds that are likely to advance to best in class or best in show, do yourself a favor and fall in love with a solid colored variety. There are in fact many beautiful and fairly uncommon breeds in solid colors or in simple patterns. This allows you to concentrate on the shape of the bird for both your selection and breeding, without the confounding aspect of color.

Patterns with flecks of white (mottled, spangled, speckled) are hard to control for the "ideal" amount of white, and in addition the birds will tend to get more white over time.

Ok thanks
