   Some of the eggs from my eggs are tearing when cracked out of the shell for cooking. In other words, the yolk tears and becomes mixed with a very watery white. Any thoughts on the cause of this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   EWWW! I've seen that happen with some of my eggs too. Those are the ones I DON"T eat.

   It is most likely due to heat stress. I have seen it happen a lot in warm weather. Often anything over 8o degrees is fairly hot for our heavily feathered friends.
   
   The eggs are fine to eat.
