Does salt make eggs rubbery?

No, salt doesn't make eggs rubbery; it actually helps them stay tender and moist by preventing proteins from bonding too tightly, though adding it right before cooking can release water, making them seem tougher or weepy; salting well in advance or after cooking results in more tender eggs, contrary to common myths. The idea that salt toughens eggs is a myth; salt ions neutralize protein charges, allowing for softer curds, but if you add it just before heat, it draws out water, creating a less desirable texture.

What does a rubbery egg mean?

When chickens aren't getting the calcium they need to support a strong eggshell, they will often lay rubbery eggs or eggs with fragile shells. In addition to poor egg performance, chickens with a calcium deficiency can also have weakened, frail bones, which can cause injury.
