black rock?

[Poupoulles]

My partridge rock rooster and barred rock hen have made an all black baby. Comb is inky black, legs are mostly black, feathers totally black... I hope its a hen. I will try and post a picture if I can.
Have any of you Plymouth Rock fanciers seen an all black? Any opinions?
Feathersite has a "black" cockerel that looks suspiciously partridge to me, and there is a black hen, but she has a red comb. hmmm?

How old is this "baby?" If it is doesn't even have its true feathers in yet, then it isn't that it is actually black. Barred chickens at a young age are often black or black an white.

This would be a sex-linked cross, and you would expect black pullets and barred cockerels. You may get some color bleeding through the black later, but at hatch, the pullets should be all black.

Sex-Linked
Partridge Rock rooster over Barred Rock hen will give you a Black Sex-Linked like Philadelphia said..

I agree, it would be a sexlink and it would be a hen. There is a variety of solid Black Plymouth Rocks that breed true, halo has some, I guess yours would still be called a black rock, but she is likely to have some goldish color bleeding through.
