My 2 year old sexlinks just started laying again after molting. Only 1 egg every couple of days. I have 4 hens. I've noticed the egg whites are watery. After reading the article below, How do I know if the hens have either: Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, laryngothacheitis or egg drop syndrome, or High vanadium levels in feed; I feed Nutrena, sprinkling of mealworms, and vegies from the kitchen. Any help will be appreciated.
 
Usually, watery egg whites occur as a hen gets older. It could be happening now to your young ones since they are just coming off molt. If they continue to be watery, examine the condition of the coop for possible buildup of ammonia. That is a common factor in egg quality.

Watery whites also can indicate eggs that are getting old, but this rarely happens with your backyard hens if you eat them regularly. Walmart eggs will typically have this feature. It's a big reason many people don't mind paying more for farm fresh eggs.

What article?
First thing I would try would be to eliminate the veggies.
What Nutrena feed are you using?
