Yes multiple it does seem.
I have or have had Exchequer leghorns from four different sources now and do have the invoices. Every batch I've gotten has had multiple birds with white shanks.
It's an ongoing fault it seems with that variety.

These are some of my pretty leghorns. The red/orange and Silver are from my Easter egger x leghorn roo. The white and Silver spotted ones are from australorp x leghorn roo. I Love the silver I'm getting.

Curious...what color would this one be called?

I think this is the Exchequer leghorn color..they are mottled. Very hard to find in the states! (I have looked)..seem to be very popular in Europe

We have 14 Pearl White leghorns. They are all different ages from almost a year to three years old. They are awesome layers. They are the only ones that rarely take a day off! We also have five hens that will be four years old this spring, Orpingtons, Black and Buff and a brown leghorn. The Brown leghorn is twice the size of the Pearl white leghorns, but she is also a great layer. We love this crazy breed because they are such great layers, healthy, hearty chickens that can handle cold, snowy CT winters. They love to eat everything we give them, and they love to free range. We will probably get more chicks this spring as I'm sure the older hens won't continue to lay next winter.

My newbie...

I just love her speckles on her back. I have an EE chick as well and they will be introduced to my Red sexlink at bed time tonight.

Why? because she’s pretty and was coop ready. I’m still a novice, so trying different breed yet.
