I am having trouble identifying which birds are the RIR and which are the Buckeye (hens and rooster). Can somebody help me?
If your able to from these pictures I would appreciate it.





 
Your rooster is a RIR.

In the last pic, I think the hen in the back is a Red and in the front is a Buckeye. The easiest difference is the comb. Reds have a straight comb, Buckeyes have a pea comb.

I agree. You can tell them apart by comb types and feather under color. Rhode Island Reds should have single combs and red under color. Buckeyes should have pea combs and slate under color. :)
