weird watery whites

[quailtortoisegoat]

We have had chickens free-ranging in our reasonably sized garden for a few months now and absolutely love them. But about 50% of the eggs we get from any of the chickens have a nice yolk and a seemingly thick white however when cooking the thick white seems to burst releasing very watery egg whites like that of an old egg. This happens with whatever cooking method I use but is most noticeable when frying.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

The most common cause of watery whites is the age of the egg. Storing eggs at high temperatures and low humidity will speed up the ageing process and cause whites to become watery. As far as my observation is concerned.
