Feathers turning white on adult bird?!

[adgcountrygirl]

Beakman, the rooster in my profile picture, is 7 years old. Since getting his adult feathers, he has been shades of mostly reds and some green in the tail. Lately he has had almost half of his feathers turn white! What is wrong? I'm at a loss. I've never seen this.

My 7 year old rooster got a white feather in his tail when he was 2 or 3. Every year since them he has added at least one more white feather to his tail. He now has a mostly white tail.

My hair used to be reddish brown. It's now pure white. Age maybe?

I got white “ feathers “ after having my kids. It’s gotten worse and worse every year

It is common for geezer hens and roosters to turn a little gray as the age. Because of the more numerous, prominent, and colorful feathers in a roosters plumage I think that we notice it more.

Most of his underbelly features are still red.
