The green and blue eggs will be from Easter Eggers, which are technically mixed breeds. No telling who laid the other colors.
 
I expect you to get chickens. If the lady did not know what breeds they might there is a good chance they will be what we call mutts. Mutts mean no breed. They might be a mixture of breeds or they might be descendants of chickens that were never a breed. You just ever know what you might get, especially from a small farm where they have been farmers for several generations.

There are several different breeds that can lay blue eggs. Green eggs usually mean a cross with a different brown egg laying chicken. Or they may be descended from the original blue egg layers that came from Chile and all the blue egg laying breeds were developed from.

You are in a Forrest Gump box of chocolates situation. You never know what you will get when you open it but it will probably be a pleasant surprise. To me that would be kind of exciting. Should be a fun hatch.
