    Is it a guinea fowl or chicken egg?

    Is it a guinea fowl or chicken egg?

    I think the egg on the is a guinea fowl egg. Can anyone tell me for sure? The guinea I have I saved a year ago from a fox and I haven't been able to ever tell it's gender.

Now I have the problem of the hen abandoning the three remaining eggs that are in earlier stages of development ( she stole eggs while brooding when I wasn't looking). One of...
