Thick egg white??? Jelly like egg white

[Hannah2911]

I have a hen that I believe has a birth defect or something. Since she started laying around 6 months old (which she’s a year and a month old now) she laid two soft shells sometimes. Double yolks normal shell sometimes and then just normal eggs sometimes. I have them on nutrena layer feed. They have separate container of oyster flakes. I don’t see how it’s low calcium no others have this but her. It goes in cycles. Sometimes I syringe her some calcium to help her but she’s never been egg bound. She just has a hitch in her giddy up I guess. Anyways her soft shells normally look normal inside. Today she laid one and it had jelly like thick jelly as the egg white. Is that just a thing or is that something to be concerned about ? I didn’t think to take a pic of the yolk before I threw it out but here she is since she’s cute lol.

Chickens just like humans, can be at different stages of health,,,, and there is not much to be able to correct that. (in chickens).
Of course in us humans, we try every effort to heal our conditions.
From what you describe,, you are doing things correctly.
