Rugao Yellow Chicken is a dual-purpose breed for meat and eggs, which is a locally bred variety developed through long-term breeding. Due to its "yellow beak, yellow feet, and yellow feathers", the masses commonly refer to it as the "Three Yellow Chickens". As early as the Jiazi year of the Qing Dynasty (1840 AD), there was a record in the "Rugao County Annals" that "chickens are common livestock in the family", and there were varieties such as "flower chickens" and "deer chickens".
