We have called one of our young boys Punch, as in Punch and Judy. As he is new to crowing and doesn't know the tune or lyrics yet he sounds like Punch saying 'That's the way to do it!'

Don't paint with too broad a brush. What you saw was the difference between one breeder's birds and the ones they sell. On more than one occasion I have sold a bird only to lose to it at a later show. I know others who have sold birds that went on to be show winners. Not every one has the same mindset as the seller you mentioned.

Newbie here so please forgive if this is asked a million times. Does this look like a blue or black BLRW?

Any thoughts appreciated

He/ she looks to be like a blue but the little guy is still pretty young. I would give him a little more time to feather out a bit :)
