Now it's official! This one is a guinea egg. Just saw my Petra laying it into a chicken's nest.

We feed our chickens their own shells which we break before so that they have enough calcium for their eggs.

No, I don't, as all of the chicken roosters we butchered had little stones in their stomach. Should I?

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences! This is very valuable information for me :)

As the shell should be really hard to break, I beat it with my finger nail, but it cracked a bit. That's why I put it into my pan. And as you can see, the yolk looks completely different.

And this one? It weighs only 30 g. I just found it. We've never found an egg here before which was that little. It was in one of our chicken nests.

Is the texture uneven? There are little dots on the shell. Can you feel them with your fingers?

Thanks. Looks to me like a normal chicken egg.

The left one is a Marans egg (65g) and the right one the unknown type of egg (55g). Or is it perhaps a Sundheimer or a Jersey Giant egg since we have these races since recently. I know, guineas should lay their eggs outside the coop but perhaps my guinea lady doesn't? :) Greetings :)
