Re: silkie eggs or guinea eggs?????
Silkie eggs are a light creamish color and mine tended to be sort of roundish in shape. Guinea Fowl eggs are more of a brown color, with a round bottom and pointy end. Guinea Fowl eggs also have a very hard shell when you go to crack them.

Wow. Talk about a perfect response! What a great photo.
I was going to say guinea fowl eggs are more triangular and have a duller almost dusty surface, but the picture really says it all!

I was going to say a guinea egg is a mini turkey egg but brown, but the pic shows it perfect!!
