    Roosters are starting to get white spots on tail feathers

    I started using DE last summer and have noticed over the winter that 3 of my Roosters have white spots or discoloration on some of their tail feathers. Could this be from the DE or does anyone know why this would happen. I would say the spots are about as big around as a quarter in sections.
