Not a guinea egg - not the right color, shape, or size. I wonder if one of your chickens laid a wind egg

Not a guinea, looks more like a pullet or a whoops to me.

Thanks you two I'm glad it isn't her egg. I hope she waits until next spring to start laying.

from shape chicken egg.... from the size probably a Fart Egg. An egg with no yolk... some times happens when a hen is just starting to lay for the first time... and can happen after a time off for winter say... But they can happen any time even with older hens.

Not a guinea egg - not the right color

I agree, not the right shape and size, but an FYI on color, I have a guinea that lays white eggs so white is certainly a possible color even if not common...

Some guineas will do anything to buck the norm and be contrary!

Cool! All mine just lay tan eggs.

Cool! All mine just lay tan eggs.

Most of mine lay the light tan with or without some darker specs, but I also have that white layer as well as one that lays a very orange/pink egg...

I've never had a fart egg without a yolk, fwiw. Even this one had one!

Mine, too. Although not quite as white. More of an off-white/cream color like my bantam eggs.
