When I purchased some pullets from a craigslist ad she threw this older hen in for free because she often goes broody. She lays light brown eggs and is much bigger than my other full size hen a Welsummer/Astralorp cross. Any ideas on what breed or breeds she might be?

I'm a newbie hatching for the first time. My daughter would like to take some of the baby chicks into her class to show her friends. Can we do that safely?
