Cause for concern....(please take a look)!

It is probably just diet change and stress from move, but... you might want to check the feathers, around the vent for signs of lice. There would be tiny white mounds at the base of the feathers, if they have it... YOu can easily treat them with Seven dust if you find them there.
 
I don't know if it is a cause for concern but something to think about is that you just got them, change in enviroment, water, anything could cause the digestive system to act funny! Happens with people too, but just to be on the safe side if you haven't already I would separate them from the rest of your chickens, Just a thought , Sandy
 
This looks to be pretty normal to me, although when mine get poop stuck like this, they typically do clean it off. Your girls (especially the BR) have pretty fuzzy bottoms, so I can see how some poop would get stuck on those fuzzy feathers.

If these 2 have runny poop, though, it's cause for concern for your other 3. The two could have something that could be passed to the other 3, so you really should consider finding a place to quarantine in case you have an issue in the future, OR getting a few pet carriers (that's what I use) so they can be separated to treat them if this does end up being somethign they need to be separated for.

Enjoy your new girls!
