The yolks tend to be stable and stand up when placed on a flat surface. Yolks can be separated from the egg white without fear of breaking. In fact, a good test of a pasture-raised egg is to see whether you can separate the yolk from the white with your fingers without breaking the yolk.

The middle albumen is made of a thick white layer, which is dense in pasture-raised eggs but much more fluid in store-bought eggs.
