One of my girls is laying an odd kind of egg at the moment - the albumen is gloopy, kind of gelatinous!

She's laid a few of these on consecutive days and the yolks have been on the small side but yesterday's egg didn't even have a yolk.

Any ideas please?

An egg without a yolk is called a blind egg. Sorry not much help but hopefully someone else will be along shortly.

This defra document has loads of information on egg quality.  Hopefully it might answer some of your questions.
