I have 4 RIR around 6 months old. One of them has become lethargic recently. Also, she has developed a new side-effect recently: her feathers are turning white. Do you guys have any idea what this is?!?!





 
This is a production RIR, the white feathers are normal, they come out every once in a while because these are mixed birds for high egg production, as for her being ill it could be a number of things, is she eating and drinking properly?
 
She had a minor leg injury (I believe it to be minor as it went away within a week) that has since healed. She is a bit smaller than the others her age. She does eat and drink, although I would say not as often.
