It's a sign of poor quality eggs. Chickens probably fed a poor diet. High
quality, fresh eggs just don't do that. Back in the day (before Big Egg
shut down our local chicken farms) I could get real, farm fresh eggs laid
that day, I had a hell of a time separating the yolks from the whites. You
could practically drop them into a skillet from 6 inches up and the yolk
would not break.
Miss those eggs.
