cloudy whites?

[Heather J]

Sometimes when I crack open my eggs the white is milky or cloudy looking? What causes that and is it still safe to eat? So far I've been cooking these babies up and feeding them back to my chickens, but before I sell eggs to someone else, I wanted to make sure they were OK.

Cloudy whites usually just indicates a VERY fresh egg:

This is a GREAT read from the Univ of Calif system all about eggs!

Thanks! I'll look it over.
