Multiple spurs are incredibly rare. Bearded hens are pretty common, usually it's cited as 10-20% of hens will have beards. It seems to vary by locality, I see multiple bearded hens every year. Multi bearded gobblers supposedly run a bit under 10%.

Iv run across a couple sets but they are few and far apart indeed. Saw a triple spurred bird killed near nelsonville ohio in 1988 or so. Not by me tho...dang it.

I have seen hundreds of dead turkeys and zero with multiple spurs!!!  Plenty of bearded hens and multiple bearded birds but not a multi spur!

I find it equally as rare that you have 2 left hands.
