Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

[Hablo]

The left one is a Marans egg (65g) and the right one the unknown type of egg (55g).
Or is it perhaps a Sundheimer or a Jersey Giant egg since we have these races since recently.
I know, guineas should lay their eggs outside the coop but perhaps my guinea lady doesn't?

Not shaped like a Guinea Fowl egg.

Thanks. Looks to me like a normal chicken egg.

They're not. Texture of the shell is different, & are rock hard.

Alittle bit more true to color in this picture.

Is the texture uneven? There are little dots on the shell. Can you feel them with your fingers?

Those are just speckles.
Texture is hard to describe. It's not as smooth as a chicken egg, but not rough either.

And this one? It weighs only 30 g. I just found it. We've never found an egg here before which was that little. It was in one of our chicken nests.

As the shell should be really hard to break, I beat it with my finger nail, but it cracked a bit. That's why I put it into my pan. And as you can see, the yolk looks completely different.

That's a Guinea Egg. Alittle rough looking.
