Are guinea eggs more nutritious than chicken eggs?

Guinea eggs are slightly higher in protein and fat per gram compared to chicken eggs, but the difference is minimal.

Can you use guinea eggs the same way you use chicken eggs in recipes?

Absolutely! Just adjust quantities since they’re smaller—typically 2 guinea eggs equal 1 large chicken egg.

Do guinea hens lay in nesting boxes like chickens?

Not usually. Guinea hens prefer to make hidden ground nests, so collecting their eggs can be a bit of a scavenger hunt.

Are guinea eggs safe to eat raw or in soft preparations?

Because of their thick shells and tighter membranes, guinea eggs tend to stay fresh longer. Still, use the same safety precautions as you would with chicken eggs.
