Yellow-skinned chicken is a common type of poultry, but it is not a separate species, but a common name that refers to poultry with a distinct yellow tint to their skin and toes. Yellow-skinned chickens in different regions and countries may be selected and improved from different local or exotic chicken breeds.
In China, yellow-skinned chicken generally refers to native chickens produced in the south, such as the "Wendong Yellow" common in rural areas of Guangdong and the "silky-bone chicken" in Taiwan. These chickens are usually small in size and grow slowly, but their meat is delicious and suitable for use as specialty ingredients.
Similar yellow-skinned chicken breeds exist in other countries, such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, but may have different names and characteristics.
