Is this a defect?

I hope this is the right category for this question.

Two of my broilers have wings that are separated like this. I am showing three broilers at a fair, and one of the ones I'm bringing has this problem. Is this a defect that will get them marked down? The other two are not close in weight, so I can't bring them, since they are judged on conformity.

I know how I can't do anything at this point, but I'm curious if people know anything about this.

Did you show them already? I'm curious how they did. I'm assuming the wings might have played a factor like you said in terms of conformity and defects, but hoping you still did well showing them!

I did show them! They did pretty well, and I don't think the wings were counted against them since it doesn't affect the meat. Thanks for checking in!
