The web page has an img tag which displays an image of an eagle. However, it displays a different eagle (from a set of five eagles)
every time. Does it affect the SEO of the page?

Joomla has a RandomImage module similar to the functionality explained above and Drupal as well has something similar. If I use one of them or my own implementation will it hurt the rankings of the page?

Technically yes, the SEO would be affected as the bot crawls the page and sees a specific alt tag as it goes through. The next time it goes by it might see a different alt tag. However if the images are similar, then the alt tags would be similar as well.

If all of the other content of the page stays the same, then the alt tag(s) would represent a very small fraction of code being read and would have an extremely limited impact on SEO.
