Guinea Egg Size

[merrymutts]

our lone hen guinea ( 3 males … not my choice...was what my friend gave me last summer ) is about 9 months old.

Today I went to gather eggs from the hens and found a teeny-tiny "pee-wee" egg so now I am wondering just how large guinea eggs are in comparison to regular hens eggs and whether this might be a guinea egg.

No pic available right now but it's about 1.25" long and light brown.

Full size guinea eggs are about 2" long and are pointy.

Their egg shells are also stronger and thicker than chicken eggs.

When mine started to lay they had some small ones. A couple that were marble-sized even.

I think I finally have at least one possibly 2 guinea eggs, Am expecting some hatching eggs ( chickens) tomorrow in the mail so I have the incubator warming up right now. As soon as purchased eggs sit after I receive them I will put all in the 'bator and see what happens.

My hens laid some really little eggs at first.

And I’ve gotten a couple double yokers that are bigger then large store bought chicken eggs.
In this picture left to right, large chicken egg, double yoke guinea egg, even bigger double yoke guinea egg, and finally regular size guinea egg.
