the hen standing in the middle look very nice too lovely long body type .she is not square for sure .
the hen in the front chunky one with short legs and fluffy thigh .she look like she has very deep chest ,herd to tell the length of her body because she is standing side way .I like the depth of her chest .. the fluffiness we can do some thing about it for sure .
all these hens need to be line bred to get the best of they traits and fix they faults .
next year we breed them diferently 100% .
you have nice chooks

the hen in the far back she is a little square .but she has very deep chest .low to the ground body type .we have to add some length to her progeny and get rerady of the fluff ,she look like she is sister to the other chunky fluffy hen from cockerels line
select cockerels with a longest body type and mark him .we will use him later even if he has some fault in other area .we need the length of the body to fix this square type .

I see.
What I always thought was just a very full crop is actually a deep chest. Haha

This is not seen on square or v shaped birds.
