That is humongous! How do guinea eggs compare to chicken eggs? Do they taste the same?

Thats as big as the turkey egg OUCH!

What color are your guineas? All of the eggs I have are just like the middle egg. I know that the pearl ones are laying those.

I found a nest of what you call "normal guinea eggs" and I wasnt sure what they were. One was mixed in with the larger size

Are you sure that's a guinea egg? It looks like a turkey egg to me (the one in the middle). It's shaped more like a turkey egg and has spots. My guinea eggs never have spots.

rooster - we have pearl? guineas, the regular dark gray with white spots, and a couple lavenders, we have never had an egg this big before

Chickenannie - nope it can't be a turkey egg since my guineas are contained and separate from the turkeys, I do get eggs with spots, not normally so pronounced, but that might just be due to the larger size

I did have a chicken rooster in the pen, but he is just a little guy, maybe five pounds and all his sisters lay eggs just a little bigger than the 'normal' guinea egg, so I don't think he did it

lilcountry - we haven't eaten any of our guinea eggs yet, we get to much money for the keets, but I have been told they are 'richer'

interesting...my eggs arent solid brown. they are more tan w/brown spots.

just to compare, here are my guinea eggs. some are larger compared to the one smaller tan one.

most of mine look like the new guinea egg you found today.
