Thick albumin that hangs to shell

[happyhencamper]

I have been noticing that some of my eggs when cracked have a thicker albumin than others. It seems to stick to the shell and not release all the way. I have seen eggs that were frozen or close to it look like this.

Anyone else experience this?

A thicker albumin in the egg can mean that the egg is still fresh.
I also found this from a website, " Sometimes it can be that the egg is super fresh and the gasses in the egg haven't yet escaped the albumen. Other times, it can be that the egg was partially frozen before it was collected so the albumen is somewhat ruined. I've also seen this from older hens just before they stop laying for the season. "
