RUNTS 



173 



A great many breeders claim that Runts are best bred in 

 individual pens while others say that they may be equally well 

 bred in ordinary lofts containing many pairs. 



Several years ago there was more or less of a tendency on 

 the part of the Runt breeders to breed birds with drooping or 

 dragging wings but today we notice a great change for the better, 

 the standard calling for the wings to be well folded against the 

 body and the tips resting on the tail. The excessive long wings 

 are now discouraged.
