I have bred a RIR x White Plymouth Rock and have ended up with a black chick (in picture) . Just wondering what breed I have now.
I also have RIR x White leghorn chicks those would be isa brown's right?

Are you sure that the chickens are purebreeds and not mixes? Maybe some other rooster came into the picture.... A white bird crossed with a red would be a red sex link, I think if it is red rooster over white hen. The female chicks would be a brown, reddish color and the males yellow or white.

The chick has a head spot, & is a dark grey which doesn't match the crossing you said you did. The chick looks like a Barred Rock.
Do you have any Barred Rocks?
 
We only have the one rooster and when we got them we waited 2 weeks before starting to collect the eggs
 
She looks old enough to lay I'll have a pic of her tomorrow but in the past month I havent had any eggs from her or my easter eggers
Okay, a picture of your Pullet would be helpful. If she is laying we'll know the chick is at least half barred rock.
