Well I want a good egg layer breed, color, size, feathers on legs doesn't matter and green or white eggs would be great! I don't want a rare breed I don't want to spend a whole lot of $$

You could go with ameraucanas. They are blue egg layers. Or Easter eggers- which aren't a true breed but can lay a variety of egg colors including blue and green.

Ameraucana hens will go broody, yes.
