Beautiful girls!! I’m still so amazed by the differences in combs. From tiny almost non-existent in EE and Silkies, to the huge ones like Dorothy is sporting. And how naive I was to think only Roos had such a comb.

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.

Fault?
