I have never seen what you describe but I have chickens and the whites of fresh eggs are definitely more firm and hold together better than older eggs. I just separated 3 the other day to make the filling for banana cream pie and they were kind of a pain in the ass. yesterday I used the whites finally and they were much more watery and had blended together rather than being 3 identifiable glops in the bowl.
