UOTE="21hens-incharge, post: 19247755, member: 264500"]Well you asked and I gave my best guesses.
If where she got them from mixed the breeds then they are STILL mixed breed birds.

Flat comb RIR are pretty rare but straight comb Buckeye don't exist unless they all (yours and your neighbors) happen to have the same genetic defect.

Taking my leave of this thread as it looks like you won't accept an answer other then what you wish to hear.

Best wishes.

Sorry about that. I have Buckeyes and Rhode Islands, and I realized flat combs could mean rose combs and pea combs so I had to point that out so people understood.

Here is some information from the Livestock Conservatory

The Buckeye should not be confused with the Rhode Island Red, even though they share some history. Buckeyes are unique in their body shape: slanted, short but broad back, very meaty thighs, powerful wings and breast. They appear very close to the Cornish, as bred in 1905, in body shape. (It should be noted that the originator indicated that she did not use Cornish in their breeding; the Cornish body shape was simply her goal.) In color the Buckeye is also unique. The color of the Buckeye is darker than that of the original Rhode Island Red (later, the Rhode Island Red was bred for a shade of color even darker than the Buckeye). The Buckeye also has a slate colored bar in the under-color (fluff) of its back; the Rhode Island Red’s feathers should be red to the skin. Both breeds share the trait of tight feathering – unique in the American Class of poultry.

Golden Comet:

The Comet has been widely acclaimed in all areas of the world where brown eggs are preferred. The reason is simple. The Comet pullet is easily one of the finest brown egg layers available today. They mature early and lay eggs of excellent size and quality. She is an extremely quiet bird, that seems to be able to withstand the colder, non-insulated, laying houses of the small flock owner, better than most breeds. The Comet is a buff sex-link strain. The chicks may be sexed by color, pullets red-roosters white. When mature, the Comet pullet is golden red in color, but has some white showing through in her neck and back.

Hope this helps.

No they didnt come from that kind farm where they keep them in small cages for getting eggs they came from a nice farm. There was light hitting It. Dont see how u tell the difference since the comb. Buckeye and rir look the same size when I look them up and they say sometimes rir get flat combs

I never said it was an egg farm that keeps them in small cages. There are different kinds of egg farms, some kept in cages some outside on grass and everything in between. But a buckeye and RIR do look different, not just the comb. Buckeye have a pea comb, RIR have either a single comb or rose comb. I think single is more common in them. I see a difference in their faces and overall builds.
