Ask yourself the following questions:  What do I see?   What does it mean?   What should I do?

This is Practical guide to improving egg quality

• LOOK: Here, you see an egg with a thin, spread out thick white (left) and firm thick white (right).

• THINK: The left egg is an older egg and the right one is freshly laid. The thick albumen will stand higher with a fresh egg, because the ovomucin fibres are still very firm. But it could also be a signal of a disease

• ACT: Crack an egg every now and then. If even a very fresh egg does not have a firm thick white, look for the cause of this disorder.
