Sharon C 0 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. Sharon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvachicken 510 Posted November 10, 2020 Just wondered how old your chickens are as maybe their whites get runnier with age ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mullethunter 597 Posted November 10, 2020 Is it multiple chickens? I have one who always does rubbish whites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie1962 3 Posted February 22 I have noticed that some of my eggs whites are quite watery too. Any reason why? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellasflock 35 Posted February 22 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
