My mam came home today with a early christmas presant and it was two battery hens i called them Ruby and Flora (Ruby is darker one, Flora is light) when i got them out the box they sat in the same position for ages they didnt have  clue what they were doing, they sat with there feet curled up like they were still in the cage. I love them!
When they got out the box:

They're so cute! I'm glad you rescued them. I'm sure they'll have a happy life.

Mark 11:22-23

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
