New hens

Meet Minny and Celia. Since they need help (missing beak and feathers) I figured I would name them after characters from The Help. 

They are both pretty beat up with the buckeye missing half the top beak and the Dominique is missing a lot of feathers on her back. But seem sweet so I assume they were picked on in their previous home and not the aggressor. I wish I knew how old they are. 
After sun down I went out to check
on them and they were sleeping next to izzie who is the outcast from the original four and that made me happy :) 

Update 8-20-14, 
So I don't think the new hens free range before. I let the door open this morning and they didn't rush out like the others and I came home and found them still in the coop. Strange birds
