The only chickens I have ever heard of that lay green eggs are Americana/Araucana.
Araucana and American Robins
I raise true Araucana chickens and Araucana hens are usually a bit slow to start laying. On average in good conditions and with excellent lighting, the Araucana hens with lay their first eggs at around 5 to 6 months old. Americana chickens will often start to lay eggs much sooner at about 16 weeks of age.
Aracaunas start laying at about 5-6 months of age. BUT they tend to NOT start laying in the winter if it's cold where you are. So, for example: an Aracauna hatched in February will start laying in July or August. A hen hatched in August, however, may not start laying until the spring.
Yes, Araucana chickens typically have an extra toe due to a genetic mutation known as polydactyly. This extra toe is a unique feature of the breed and can vary in size and appearance.

No. True Araucanas lay blue eggs. Mixed breed easter egger or EE chickens can lay eggs of almost any color. Brown eggs from a "Araucana" suggests mixed breed.
