cloudy egg white whats with this?

[snowflake]

My young pearl white legghorns are laying nice eggs but the whites are cloudy. they are fresh I collect them every day and thees were from yesterday. I have 2 leg horns and got 2 eggs, one from each yesterday, cracked them both today and they are cloudy? they free range with other hens and roos, get Flock raiser free choice, oyster shell and small amount of boss and scratch,tomatoes,mellon,ect. as treats on occasion. they are from Mc murry's this springs hatch,

I didn't know so I googled it. This is what I found "Note the color of the egg white. The cloudy appearance of an egg white actually indicates freshness, due to its higher carbon dioxide content. As the egg ages, the carbon dioxide escapes and the egg white becomes more transparent."

That's the basis of it. Cloudy whites indicate a very fresh egg.

You're just not used to seeing a fresh egg. Enjoy it.

OK so how come my brown and green eggs also just as fresh are clear? I only get that with my 2 white egg layers?

Thats what I would like to know as well. Had hens for over ten years now, mostly RIR's and leghorns. At least one of the two leghorns I have now are giving cloudy eggs and yet we often fry brown eggs that are still warm from the nest.....
