Supposedly got 4 buckeyes & 4 ameraucana chicks. Now that they're grown, 2 are typical ameraucanas, 4 are definitely buckeyes and 2 are extremely tall, red chickens I have not been able to identify. Photos are not loading so I have to describe them: red buckeye coloring with long blueish tail feathers, pea comb, extremely long, muscular, thick legs & a very long neck, similar to Malays. One has straw colored feet & the other yellow. So far they are not any more aggressive than the other chickens, as Malays are known to be, and Malays were not used in breeding buckeyes. At 1st I thought they were roosters but they are so different in form & stature.
Does anyone have an idea what they could be? I will keep trying to load photos. Thanks.
 
Got it! When she stands up she is 2 ft tall- as big as my jersey giants.

Looks like a roo! I see redder comb and pointy saddle feathers, Still no idea of breed though. Looks like a rose comb in the photo, hard to tell. May be a clue to breed!:)
