Sharon C Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi - I wondered if anyone knows why our eggs have such watery whites. Our chickens have plenty of grit - we have never encountered this problem before and have been keeping chickens for a long time. Thanks.

Luvachicken Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just wondered how old your chickens are as maybe their whites get runnier with age ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Is it multiple chickens? I have one who always does rubbish whites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, now you've said that, I used to have one a long time ago that also laid rubbish whites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie1962 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have noticed that some of my eggs whites are quite watery too. Any reason why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellasflock Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi So sometimes a watery egg yolk can be down to genetics. Simply, it is very annoying but sometimes it is just due to genes the hen has inherited. Some genes mean the yolk is bigger or the egg white is more watery. This could be the situation in your case although what everyone else has mentioned seems to be possible reasons also. Age, storage of eggs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
