What exactly does a "deep body" mean when describing chicken breeds?

Hi! I'm vey new to chickening. Only six months and enjoying it! Anyway, I hope you don't find my question silly or stupid.

So yes, what exactly does a "deep body" mean when describing chicken breeds? I've been reading up on various breeds and every now and then, that description comes up. I tried to research before posting this, but I couldn't find the information. Is it how much body there is between the back and where the body meets the legs??

Thanks in advance!

That was my guess, but I wanted to be sure. Thank you!

And thank you for the photos. Are they from your flock?

You're welcome. It was just a simplified description.

Yep, those are my birds.
