Thanks Margaret8 for the information. Do you eat the eggs, and if so how are they in comparison to chicken eggs?

Yes, they taste just like chicken eggs only smaller. It takes two guinea eggs to equal 1 chicken egg.

Guinea eggs have more yolk than chicken eggs so to me they taste richer. They make wonderful omelettes!

I have 4 male guineas and 2 hens I just learned .and tonight 2 of the males were fighting like to the death . Is this normal I have needed to slaughter 2 of the males so I have 2 hens and 2 cocks but I haven't got around to it.

The shells on guinea eggs are super tough to crack. They are also smaller, so I always used 2 instead of one. They tasted the same to me. Worked fine in the homemade ice cream I made with them.

So we've had our guineas a while but finally have them 'confined' and in nice weather and today I discovered our first egg!!! We all got really excited! Going to save them and do some ' fertility testing' hopeful for keets
