I wish to get more like this but I don't know what breeds have this. Most of my chickens are mix breeds, with makes for beautiful bird variety. What breeds have this beautiful golden yellow?

Some varieties of American Gamefowl, & Easter Eggers will have these colors.

These guys should be able to pass it down to their Offspring though as they're dominant.
 
Since those are mixed breeds, it's hard to exactly replicate.
But, here's a more silvery version, for example. The Silver Barnevelder:

I actually find the hens even more beautiful than the roosters of this breed.
Another mixed breed that often has color patterns like this is the Easter egger mutt-breed, which is commonly sold and easy to get. However, you'll never have a total guarantee of what they'll look like.

And, just for fun, there's a rather exotic longtailed breed called the Phoenix that comes in this color. (It's called gold duckwing.)

And also, you can probably just replicate it if you breed the birds you already have! If you choose hens with similar colorations (darker bodies, lighter/golden necks, for example) and cross them with the roosters pictured, many off their offspring will likely share that golden leakage trait. (Leakage is what you call the brighter shoulder/saddle feathers on a solid-colored bird.)

Thank you for explaining leakage! Now will you explain duckwing please?
