What are the difference between gamefowl eggs and laying hen eggs if you have pictures it would be much appreciated
 
Usually size.
GF hens lay a small to medium size egg while "most" laying hens lay large eggs.
Pretty much it and I'd like to add cracking my gamefowl eggs are alot more difficult than layer eggs. The layer eggs shells are very fragile and the games membranes are alot tougher
 
Gamefowl also don't lay year round like layers. Also if you have no experience with games I'd advise you to do research in housing, they aren't easy forget about type of chicken

Not tons different really.
But it also depends on variety of gamefowl, & regular chicken breeds as there's tons of variations among egg size, color, hardness, & lay frequency.

Asils, depending on variety/strain lay white, tinted, or brown eggs, & rare blue/green. Egg size range between Small, medium to extra large.
Lay frequency is usually 1 egg every 2 - 7 days.
But every bird is an individual so lay frequency may vary more.

American Gamefowl depending on variety/strain lay white, tinted, light brown/cream. Some of Asian decent lay light blue, but it's very rare.
Lay frequency is usually 1 egg every 2 - 3 days. But every bird is an individual so lay frequency may vary more.

Depend on breed but normally there medium size while laying breeds normally lay large eggs and gamefowl hens lay 12-20 eggs a year so they wouldn’t be the best to have for eggs but here’s a pic of the eggs my gamefowl hen is broody on them less I would take a better pic
