Is an all black barred rock possible?

[SRHelton]

So,I hatched out a batch of chicks and both parents are barred rock, all started out black and white as biddies but as they got older , one in particular turned all black, and I'm curious as to what happened? Is an all black barrel rock possible?

Pictures please? Parents, & chicks.

If it is truly all black it is not barred. It could still be a Plymouth Rock though. Pictures of parents might help spot if one of them is mixed, or if it is a genetic twist.

Are melanistic chickens possible?

Do you have any other birds that he could be a mix of?

He looks like he has a little teeny bit of leakage so possibly carrying other genes? And is leakage possible in barred rocks or does that mean he’s mixed?
