Pengxian Buff

The Pengxian Buff is a Chinese chicken associated with Pengxian, now commonly linked with the Chengdu area of Sichuan. The name points to both place and a buff or yellowish plumage identity, though local lines may not match the precision of Western exhibition color standards. It is best understood as a regional farm chicken with utility value and a visible color tradition.

For keepers, Pengxian Buff chickens should be assessed as productive native stock rather than as generic buff birds. Selection can include body size, laying, fertility, livability, and whether the buff appearance remains reasonably consistent. They need normal small-flock care, including clean shelter, balanced feed, and protection from damp litter. Buyers should ask for flock history and origin, since color names are easy to attach to unrelated chickens in casual trade.
