What is giant runts?

Giant Runts are a breed of domestic pigeons that were developed in the United States by crossing the King pigeon, Carneau, and French Mondaines breeds. They are one of the largest pigeon breeds, with males weighing between 1.7-2.7 kg and females weighing between 1.4-2.3 kg.

Giant Runts come in various colors such as black, blue, red, yellow, silver, and white. They have a broad and muscular body, a slightly curved beak, and a distinctively large head. They also have long wings and tails, which they hold up while walking.

These pigeons are known for their friendly and calm demeanor, making them popular as pets and exhibition birds. They are highly valued for their size and beauty in shows and competitions. Giant Runts are also often used as foster parents for smaller pigeon breeds due to their good feeding and care instincts.

Giant Runts are easy to care for and can adapt to different environments, but they need ample space to move around due to their large size. They also require a balanced diet of seeds, grains, and greens to maintain their health and vitality.
