Are there any Yellow chicken breeds?

[plantguy90]

Hello, I have 3 hens, and was looking to add a fourth. This is fun for my toddler too, and since we have a Bhraman (white), Black sex-link (black), Rhode Island Red (red), thought it would be fun to add yellow colored chicken to the gang. Any good egg-layers that are yellow as adults?

Any buff breed should do, but I have a preference for buff orpington as they are glistening gold and very sweet.

I'd go with a buff brahma or buff rock over an orpington any day. Or a buff silkie

I just love the look of the Black-Tailed Buff Japanese.

I would also take a Buff Rock over an BO any day of the week..oh wait a minute we do have a bunch of them

and only 1 BO We also have a few EE's that are butter colored much more yellowish tan than the Buffs are.
If you don't mind small eggs got to have a Silkie... got to have a Silkie they are beyond sweet,small,soft and cute!

whats an EE? (newbie). I guess I'd like a butter/lemon color vs a "golden" one

Not sure where you live but buff orpington are very cold hardy and are great mothers if that is something your looking for.

Right now I have 3 hens, just for fresh and healthier eggs, no rooster, no plans for fertile eggs. Live in warm part of central california, we get some frost every 10 years but average winter low is 39.

Just saw some pics of the BO online, they will do, whats a buff rock?
