what would be the reason for fresh raw eggs to have watery whites inside with yolks that break v easily when opened?
fed on layers pellets and free range.
thanks  :wave:

Hi Julia  :wave:
Have your chucks been wormed in the last 6-months?  Mind, a lot of folks recommend every 3-4 months for free-range.

Worm them ::)
The answer to all poultry problems.

The birds are lacking in vitamins, mainly A and D. Give them some cod liver oil or fresh greens.
