I saw a couple pictures over the past few days that were buff orpington chickens that were bright yellow, not the gold color. They were full grown birds. I love buff orpingtons they are probably my favorite and I'd love to get a unique bright yellow one some time. Anyone know where these come from or if they are a cross breed? Or maybe I'm just a victim of photoshop.
 
According to the APA standards, Buff Orpington should be a golden-buff color with white legs. Those you are seeing that are more yellowish are most likely hatchery birds, or they could be faded by the sun. The golden-buff color tends to fade/lighten in the sun.
