The structure or shape of the bird may affect the distribution and amount of meat, while certain defects detract from its appearance. Some of the defects that should be noted are breasts that are dented, crooked, knobby, or V-shaped; backs that are crooked or hunched; legs and wings that are deformed; and bodies that are definitely wedge-shaped.
