We raise our chickens ourselves and keep them in small boxes so that their size is restricted to the exact same measurements. Ok, perhaps not. But, when I competed in FBA & KCBS competitions we'd trim them to as close to the same size as possible. However, looking at that box (I'm more accustomed to judging boxes without garnish), the appearance doesn't look too bad (small pic though). What were your appearance scores? Honestly, appearance is weighted so low that it's not the reason you were in the middle of the pack. Oh, FYI, you definitely do NOT have too much white showing. What you have there is normal.
