Feather Quality on "my" chickens vs "their" chickens

[FortFusterCluck]

My flock consists of 2 grown hens that I acquired from a neighbor and 7 pullets I raised. I've had them all for about 5 months. In the pictures below, you can pick out the two that came from the neighbor. They are skinnier, not as shiney, their feathers are weaker, their immune system is not as strong ...

My question is will they ever be the same as my flock? After they molt, will they come back stronger?

(The guinea is my other neighbor's. She has adopted my flock since she lost her partner this summer.)

Yes, their feathers will be better with the diet you provide. It sounds like your feeding regimen is better. What do you feed them?

You have two roosters.

This.

Feathers are worn from mating.
Once the hens molt, they will have nice feathers for a little while.

Its because you have 2 roosters and not enough ladies also you might have a third i cant tell from the angle but after a molt it will be fine

Good thing I got rid of the third.

They looked like this when they came to me.
