First, the adult hens, Cordon and Teriyaki. I'm not sure which is the better type, but Cordon is the hen who really sold me on the Blue Australorps as birds I wanted to breed. She laid even before the California White and, when not broody, laid large, light-brown eggs regularly. She's slimmer, Teriyaki is blockier.

A better look at Teriyaki:
And the pullets, now 19-weeks. I had quite a hard time getting them to show their bands for identification.
Yellow-band, medium color, medium lacing.
Blue Band, medium-dark with no particular distinguishing features.
Pink(?) band (hard to tell by camera flash). The only one with a name -- Silver. She was mistaken for Lavender when young before she developed some lacing. I know she's too pale to belong in the purebreed pen, but she's extraordinarily pretty so she's for the mixed flock.
Green-band. My dark beauty. Her lacing is a bit muddy, but you should see her color in the sunshine. I *think* she's approaching POL because the cockerel has been trying to mate with her.
I've paid more attention to the boys so far since the male is half the flock, but over the next week or two -- especially with nights warming up so that I can spend more time doing off-the-roost exams to check for signs of incipient laying and to get weights, I'll make my decisions about who, other than Cordon, is going in the Blue Australorp pen and who, other than Silver, is going into the mixed pen.

... I have a bunch of these I use for general purpose,, especially when I take the dogs out at night. The light is very bright. Just a few lumen short of the SUNS' output. 
I think powerful enough to shine thru Maran eggshells
