Hens are warm wheaten-buff with a salmon breast; cocks show black breast and tail over a rich red body. A foundational French color often used in dark-egg breeding programs alongside Black Copper.

Keeper tips for this variant

Wheaten hens fade and yellow in strong sun — give shade if you exhibit, as a sun-bleached buff loses points on the show bench.
