[Miami Leghorn]

Seriously though,I'll take a dozen of those Exchequers...Both A and B

 

[KingD]

A are probably more to the standard but damn I like B.
Either would work.
Are there some white shanks in there?
We have an issue here apparently with white shanks. They need to be yellow.

Ok. I might message the seller for more pics ect. I think the second photo I posted looks the nicest.
As to the white shanks' I cant see any noticeable white In the photos given with the add.

I agree completely. I like Group B wayyyyyy more. But I can't say why. I just do.

As to the white shanks

Group A appears to have exclusively white legs/shanks. In Group B, the bird closest to the photographer appears to have white.

You'd call that white? Ok. Thanks for pointing that out.
Does that immediately make them piles of then? Or no?

Most likely the white is caused by diet. White is a dominant gene so it shouldn’t just pop up in a Leghorn population.

Unless another breed was recently introduced to that line.

Yes, but I find that unlikely in exchechequers, and I feel like I would see at least one with yellow legs in that case.

To me it does but depends what you think and what your plans for them are.

IDK what they're like over there but here that variety seems plagued with them.
IDK why because yes white is dominate so it's not hard to breed out. I do know every source I've gotten them from included some with white shanks.
