*IF* they are the same type then the bad news is you have black sex links and the difference is due to gender -- black sex links are a cross-bred bird that hatches with different markings making it possible to now gender at hatch (females are all black, males have a dot on the top of the head) -- as they feather out females will be black and develop some degree of copper markings on the collar/chest while males are barred.
The age of your birds will make gender determination impossible if they are not sex links -- IF they are other breeds (as noted above, the barred bird *could* be a barred plymouth rock or other barred breed, the black chick may be a separate breed) then gender will not be determinable until 6+ weeks of age.
