I must say, the mottled d'uccles are quite the lookers. I've never seen any except for the images posted here at BYC. It was an instant drool moment.
Poultry judging is odd. There are certain breeds that I find always place above others and it's hard to crack that 'stereotype'. For instance, solid color birds seems to place above colored birds. Mind you I also understand that color birds are much harder to get high quality show birds from than solid types.
I also find less common breeds do not always place well either. If you had an outstanding d'uccle, or booted bantam would the judge be good enough to recognize it and place it above a more typical breed?
I've been lucky in that once in a while I will have a blue rosecomb place well. I had one go to reserve bantam of show once, and this past year I had one place reserve of breed against some very nice blacks that I was also showing.
