A fresh egg white is very jelly like. Maybe it got squashed or it had a soft shell which they do sometimes

The jelly-like egg white is what tells you that you have a fresh egg. It's only when eggs start to age that the white becomes runny like you get from the supermarket.  The egg, when as  fresh as this is great for poaching as it keeps itself together beautifully
