@MysteryChicken any thoughts?

Salmon is silver wheaten with mahogany and autosomal red.
What colors are available to you?
Ideally, you would just buy the salmon ones.

I don't find salmon in my contry. What colors I'd need to obtain salmon?

If you can get Salmon Faverolles, they should have all the color genes you need.

If you cannot get any salmon colored chickens, you could get those specific genes from other sources:

--silver (found in Light Brahmas and Dark Brahmas, and maybe in some other colors.)

--Mahogany (usually found in chickens with a dark red color, such as Rhode Island Reds.)

--Autosomal Red (the red that can appear in a silver-based chicken. That one may be in some gold chickens, and you would find out if you started crossing them with ones that have silver. Or maybe you could find some Silver Duckwing chickens, and pick the females with the strongest salmon color in their breast.)

If you need to bring in color genes from other breeds, of course you will take time and lots of breeding work to get your birds back to a proper Brahma type.

may be in some gold chickens,

Most gold chickens have autosomal red since it is wild type.
