Chickens' feathers can turn white due to various factors, including genetics, age, and environmental conditions. Some breeds naturally have white feathers as part of their genetic makeup, while others may develop white feathers as they age or undergo molting. Additionally, stress or changes in diet can affect feather pigmentation. In some cases, diseases or health issues can also lead to changes in feather color.
