Gelatinous Egg Whites

[katieuppi]

My girls give eggs with whites that stand up. The texture cooks up silky and delicious. I love them.

I just had this happen when I did an eggtopsy 2 days ago...looked like a clump of boiled egg whites and it had some yolk. I can't seem to find anything on it either.

Bumping for this issue- thick almost solid egg white upon cracking into the frying pan

Ditto. We have several batches of chickens, but our oldest 12 (hatched 3/2022), if they lay, lay eggs with gelatinous whites. I can't sell the eggs. Anyone figured out a cause yet?
My suspicion, from my own empirical evidence, is either 1) because they are the only chickens that we started on commercial feed (remember the issues that arose in 2022 with no one's chickens laying eggs?...), or 2) mites (because they currently have them and I have no idea how long they could have had them).
I'd like to restore my chickens to perfect health and without a cause, it's impossible. They've been like this since the fall of 2023 and I've changed everything (housing, food, supplements, pastures...) with no improvement.
