I couldn't find nutritional value on the guinea eggs, but apparently a lot of people strongly prefer their taste to chicken eggs and someone in a forum said they're higher in protein, though I didn't get any actual numbers. I did find nutritional info on quail and duck eggs. The quail and chicken look similar when compared ounce for ounce. But the duck eggs had a fair amount more of vitamin A (no info on the vitamin D), calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and especially folate, iron and potassium (twice as much potassium). Also, the duck eggs had the best Omega 3:6 ratio of the three eggs- significantly better than the chicken (but quail had the worst). So, I think I'll definitely try the duck eggs ... but maybe the other ones too, just for kicks. I'll let you know how they taste!

Or, did you try googling it yet? :) Kelly Kim, I don’t know, I’m sorry, if they’re fairly inexpensive, maybe you could try them and let us know!

I noticed these less conventional eggs for sale lately from a farm that is free-range and organic.

They're full of enzymes and loaded with nutrients! But I only eat them from a farm that raises their chickens out on pasture, eating what they were meant to eat. I wouldn't eat raw eggs from the grocery store. And I don't eat them plain, by the way - yuck! I eat them in homemade ice cream, smoothies, etc. Hi Kyle,

(Hot pan, cold oil, food wont stick--a true saying!) Add two beaten eggs seasoned as you like. The eggs should cook up fast. Then add broccoli and zucchini that has been precooked (or any leftover vegetable). It is so satisfying to have eggs and vegetables for breakfast. Cast iron is my new non stick cookware. When you treat it right, and remember to get the pan hot and then add cold oil it behaves like Teflon, without the bad side affects of Teflon. Here’s a great and fast egg recipe.
