Golden Buff Chickens are a favorite breed due to their calm, quiet temperament and large brown eggs. Started Golden Buff’s Pullets have buff-red feathers and are around 4 pounds at maturity. Golden Buffs are also known as Golden Comets, Cinnamon Queens, Boven Browns, Red Sex Links, among others.
This breed is a hybrid. Hybrids are created by crossing two different parents and will not breed true. Crosses are generally created for vigor and production qualities, but also for desired traits such as egg color or feather patterns.
