Mites? Normal chicken feathers? Or starting to molt?

New chicken owner so if this is normal don’t judge me lol but are the pointed looking feathers normal? Kinda look like tooth pick/pins sticking out. I have a hen whose neck looks similar but missing more feathers and can see down to the skin (still trying to catch her for a picture) and this is my rooster whose neck on one side looks similar like he is losing some feathers. I mostly notice it when I see them bend to eat something, not so much when they are up just bobbing and walking. All are eating and drinking normal and act fine

Editing to add not sure if the hen is missing feathers do to being mated by my rooster!
