These eggs do that if they're the least bit cold.
In fact that is the main reason I keep a bowl on the counter for baking because they just don't whisk!
Question, not trying to be a troublemaker ....just curious.
But, are your hens fat?
Do you treat maybe a little bit over what the norm suggests?
That is the other factor iv'e noticed besides temperature, the more portly hens lay the majority of weird eggs.
The more svelte hens that either don't want or can't get treats lay more normal consistency eggs.
Your question definitely does not sound like you are being a troublemaker I don't believe any of my girls are overweight, in fact I am forever worrying about the opposite. I worry about the problems that can arise in overweight pullets/hens and try my hardest to do my part in keeping them at their healthiest. I believe this egg was laid in the middle of the night and did get partially frozen before daylight. This pullet has started to lay during daylight hours, thankfully, but it was at least a month of laying during the wee hours of the morning or late night. Thank you
