To the fridge or frying pan.

Im getting 6 or 7 eggs a day now from my girls. Awesome. Ive got a family of 5. So they dont last long. Like from the hen box to the frying pan. Im noticing that some of the eggs are watery. Is that normal. Should the eggs spend some time in the fridge first. Whats the proper procedure for this. Or could this be a feed issue. My hens are freeranging 2 hrs a day, plus 16% layer feed

I'm sure they're fine. The eggs do not need to be put in the fridge before eating. Enjoy!

Fresh eggs are watery. If you want firmer whites they need to hang out in the fridge for a few days. Something I learned in a cookbook so I have no more info.

That's odd information about fresh eggs being watery. Mine are very firm, almost like jello. It takes a few weeks for them to become runny. Is it very hot where you are? Or could one of your girls be sitting on the eggs and warming them up? Someone else just posted that heat could possibly make eggs runny.

Not sure ,but I know 5 of the hens are using the same henbox, so the eggs are being sat on.
