Standard - bred wyandottes, silver laced, golden laced, white, buff, black and partridge .. . hecut is from one-half to one. The Back. This section, in all the American classes, has a valuation of ten pointsin the standard of 1898.

The back is the keystone of thestructure, and without a good one on your male bird you are far from perfec-tion, no matter how good the rest of the sections may be. It is of greatimportance in both male and female, but more so in the male. This section issubdivided on shape and color, five points being given to each. In shape itshould be SHORT, BROAD AND FLAT AT THE SHOULDERS, saddleBROAD AND FULL. I put this in capitals so it will make a little moreimpression on the reader, for I consider this section the most important one inany breed. Look at chan No. 1 and see this section, then read the standard again,and you will soon get the right idea and be able to make the proper selection.
