Runny Egg yolks

[Wyo Chick]

I have searched this subject on old topics and have not come up with an answer. Why would egg yolks be runny? The hens are less then a year old.

As in runny do you mean when you break the egg open it runs out and doesn't stay in the yolk sack?

Are they room temperature or refrigerated? How old are the eggs?

Room temperature eggs and older eggs (older than week) tend to be more runny than fresher eggs. Plus, your hens are probably drinking a lot of water since it's still summer. The additional water content may also cause them to be a little on the runny side.
