At the moment we have nine laying hens and a bantam rooster named Benjamin. Here are their bios...
Sweetie 
Sweetie (
Araucana) has been with us for about five or six years now. She is the Houdini of the flock, if there is a way out of the run she'll find it and will also teach the other hens who are brave enough to follow her out to freedom. She has fluffy ear tufts and lays greenish/blue eggs. When she was a chick she had the cutest black eyebrows she looked like quite the Egyptian!
Green Day and Cheeky(Cheeky is the one in the back)
Green Day is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, she loves to free range with Sweetie and that crowd. She lays light brown eggs and she has a rose comb.
Cheeky is a Silver Sebright bantam(which is a like a miniature chicken) She is as her name suggests very cheeky, she is also exceptionally good at flight compared to the other hens, and almost impossible to catch.
Henrietta 
Henrietta is a Barred Rock(which is a cross between
Dominiques and Black Javas) and lays medium brown eggs, she also likes to roam about unattended during the day. She is not however smart enough to get back into the run so we must find her in the evenings and put her up to roost.
Lilly
Lilly (Red Sexlink) is only a year old and quite personable when she chooses. She will come when you call her by name. Born on Easter or very close to it, she was given to us because her owner got her as a chick for an Easter present and had nowhere to keep her. She is almost house trained.... =D
Lucy
Lucy (Red Cochin Bantam) is a complete scared-y chicken, you can't get within five feet of her and she runs away. She looks a little stressed out all the time, but she is very cute and tiny compared to the other chickens. Lucy is quite the devoted wife to Benjamin. She also enjoys the free ranging life style and can sneak out of very small holes...
Scruffy
Scruffy (
Araucana) is also fond of free ranging, but not very smart. She lays light brown eggs (some Araucanas don't lay green eggs, but most do). She is a loner and doesn't hang out with the other hens much if she can help it.
Pecky
Pecky (Barred Rock) has a sweet personality, fond of people but not cuddles. She was once quite broody and hatched two chicks, but both turned out to be roosters (Little and Jr.) so we had to give them away. She loves to scratch up the garden and eat grubs...yummy!
Harriett 
Harriett (Barred Rock) is also a loner and the largest chicken we have at the moment. Her hobbies are eating and scratching up the garden to let the weeds grow. =D
Benjamin (aka "Benji")
Benjamin (Barred Cochin Bantam) is our only rooster. He is very sweet and fluffy, and has a secret love for cuddles, but he would never admit it. He is gentle, kind and has never attacked anyone, unlike the other roosters we've had. He is quite the country bumpkin. ^-^
Harriett was "just" passing through the garden as I came out....
Then Henrietta comes along and is "just looking for bugs"...
And when I pretended to look away...the lettuce screamed as it was being eaten. A quick picture and then I had proof of who was eating all the lettuce, Haha!
Benjamin was the guard that they posted for a look out, but then he saw something shinny and was gone like a very fluffy bullet. The poor hens never even knew he was gone.
Squinty is a Barred Rock, she loves to chase you and peck. She appears to be quite a bossy little girl. The reason for her name is because one of her eyes is slightly more closed than the other. ^-^
Rosie is still her sweet little self, always open to a good cuddle.. =D
Whitey is a White Leghorn (well known for laying an enormous amount of eggs during their lifetime).
Felicity here is looking quite scruffy and bedraggled, I guess its because she is a different breed from the others. Her feathers are not growing as quickly as everyone else, poor girl!
Buffy her is getting such a sweet personality! She runs up to you and leaps into your arms now (or very close to that anyway!)....
Sammy is also growing at a different rate to the others. She is also very hard to catch now, thats why the picture is from a distance. =p
A very snooze-ie Whitey, she woke up right as the flash went off.
Hootie is a looker, very pretty ear tufts.
Now Sammy's wing feathers are starting to come in!! =D
Rosie's tail and wing feathers are coming in now. She is getting even cheeky-er if that is possible, when you put your hand out she will climb up it and try to escape.
Felicity is getting very fast, it took me awhile to catch her for this photo. I think I might have tired her out. ^-^
Hootie is an Araucana and she has the cutest little ear tufts, she looks like an owl as her name implies! =D
Buffy also enjoys a good cuddle if the opportunity arises. She is a Buff Orpington, which are known for their sweet personalities.
Sweetie (Araucana) has been with us for about five or six years now. She is the Houdini of the flock, if there is a way out of the run she'll find it and will also teach the other hens who are brave enough to follow her out to freedom.

Sammy is a Salmon Faverolle (which was originally bred as a utility fowl in France, now it is raised mostly for exhibition and novelty. It is good sized with a beard, muff, feathered shanks, and 5th toe)
Rosie is a Red Star Sexlink (bred esp. for egg laying)
Felicity is the only chick other than Sammy to have feathered feet. She is guessed to be a Dark Brahma (Large gentle chickens like the Light Brahmas. Striking plumage color in black and silvery white for males and beautiful silver penciled steel gray for females. Developed from Asiatic fowl brought to New England by China clipper ships in the last century.)
