I came across this while looking for the answer to this same question. http://www.ijpbs.net/issue-2/130.pdf

the serving size says 4 oz. I want to know who has 4 oz guinea eggs by weight or volume?

My biggest guinea eggs are roughly 2 oz. by weight so a 4 oz. serving would be 2 eggs. Most places say that it takes 2 guinea eggs to be equivalent to one chicken egg. Of course chicken eggs also vary in size.

that is what I thought

how are guinea fowl to raise. do they really eat ticks? can you eat the eggs and are they good ?

In my opinion they are very easy to raise. They love free ranging and are hilarious to watch. They get pretty loud sometimes though. We really don’t have to do much for them. Just keep their food and water full. We let them out of their run to roam around the property and they always either find they’re way back and we lock them up or they spend the night in the trees. I love they’re eggs, taste just like chicken eggs but with a higher nutritional value, I think they have 20-25 grams of protein per eggs, way more than chicken eggs. Would definitely raise more guineas over chickens. They also are better foragers than chickens and don’t make a mess of your garden. Chickens in the other hand will destroy your garden.
