Got new/used chickens from Layer Operation and feathers are all but gone will they grow back?

[wolverine09]

I’ve gotten three new chickens that were past their prime from a laying operation and their feathers are all but gone will they grow back after molting?

They will usually regrow their missing feathers when they go through their yearly molt. Did they say exactly how old they were? Many egg operations get new birds when the old ones are molting. Do you have any pictures? What breed are they? I would feed them a Flock Raiser 20% feed until they regrow their feathers. If you have 16% layer feed for them, you can increase their protein with some meat bird feed. It is always good to have a container of crushed oyster shell available for extra calcium for when they start laying again.
