Look what one of my guineas left today -- it's 67 grams, compared to the regular-sized ones at 45 grams. I think I'll add it to my next hatch and see if it hatches a Super Guinea.

That's pretty cool, I've never seen a mis-sized guinea egg before.

No, I don't expect that it will. But it will be fun to see if two embryos develop at all. I'll crack it open after it's definitely dead to see if it is a double-yolker. I don't think I've ever had one from my guineas before, just the chickens. (Once I got a triple from the chickens.)

LOL you won't believe this but I got an egg that looks almost identical to yours tonight at feeding time. The rest of the Hens laid by 2:30, except I was missing one egg... she must have had a heck of a time squeezing that one out
I'll edit this post and add a pic in a little bit. Just tougth it was odd, we are both up here in Nor Cal and we both get similar weird eggs the same day, lol.
Yours looks longer/narrower, so maybe mine's not a double yolker... either way, I'm thinking the Hen that laid this one had to feel some pain, lol. I'll open it, but I don't think I'm going to set it. I don't want to risk 2 dead keets or 2 messed up keets
Last edit... you made me curious as to how much it weighs, 68 grams.

I'll be darned! Maybe the Great Guinea Fairy has been flying through northern Calif. and leaving giant eggs in our nests?

My ten-year-old son predicts that it will hatch....
into a two headed guinea.

Wow - that's beautiful! I should have done that with mine. I just opened it and added it to breakfast. (Also a double.)
I've been wanting to tell you how much I admire how generous you are with your guinea experience here. I always look forward to reading your posts. You mentioned that you have a keet care PDF file available; do you sell copies of it? I'd love to download it.
