Hmmm, just thinking - do you see this in supermarket eggs?  I've never thought about the whites at all, I must admit.  Just bung them in a pan, bowl and whisk up, or into a cake. If I know my hens are healthy and eating only what I want them to, and drinking fresh water, I don't really pay attention to the eggs.
