The changes in the height of the air cell of eggs of guineas and chicken hens at different storage periods – 1, 3 and 6 months at 3 temperature regimes – 0–4 °C, 5–7 °C, 15 °С was conducted. There is an increase in the size of the air cell with increasing shelf life with statistically significant differences between eggs of guinea fowl hens and chicken hens in the three storage periods in the three temperature regimes, except for 6 months – 15 °C. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that guinea fowl eggs can be stored for up to 3 months at temperatures up to 15 °C and up to 6 months at temperatures up to 5–7 °C, while the maximum storage period for hens is one month at temperatures up to 15 °C.
