These are Buckeyes. RIRs have single combs. These are pea-combed birds.Can I ask you guys how you differentiate the RIR from the Buckeye? I thought I had rosecomb RIR, but I'm being told they look more like Buckeye? If they are Buckeye, then what I can say is that they are very beautiful!! Rich colour! They have a 'wet' look to their feathers, hehe, I find that pretty snazy! They are the first one out the coop ALL THE TIME!! They run a lot (way more then my Barred Rocks), go after mice and little birds, and bugs obviously. Mine are only 18 weeks, so haven't gotten to the laying part yet, but they are a bit smaller then average size, so that gives me the impression they will be good layersI definitly want to hatch some eggs out and get more of them. Love the breed!
Would this be a Buckeye? If not then I just gave you feedback on a RIR, lol!
