What is the difference between these chicken breeds?

Whats the difference between a barred rock and a Plymouth rock?

They both look the same!! Can someone please tell me their differences if there are any?

Thanks

Exactly, what happens is that a lot of people will just drop the Plymouth and insert the color instead, i.e. Barred Rock, White Rock, etc...
