And, I think someone that had to peel farm fresh eggs to make them
was the one that named them that.
Oh, fresh eggs are SO hard to peel!!
I have tried all the "tricks" and still I can't be successful.
I can peel a grocery store egg like nobody's business,
but a fresh egg?
Even my oldest fresh eggs are still too fresh. ;-)
I hard boiled a dozen eggs today to make deviled eggs
and I had one, ONE, decent looking one when I was done.
No deviled eggs tomorrow,
but a lot of egg salad sandwiches this week! :-)

You're right! This made me laugh. I have the same trials with our "homegrown" eggs. I have wondered whether experimenting with the cooking method might be worth it. (I normally start them in cold water, turn the heat up to bring it to a boil, then reduce to medium and time 15 minutes.) Sometimes, I do have rather better success, if I peel the cooled eggs under cold running water.
I was told that I do not have to refrigerate my eggs once I collect them. However, if I do put them in the fridge after collecting them then they need to be kept in there all the time. So I collect mine put them in cartons and leave them in a cool dry place. I never have put mine in the fridge. I'm not sure if this makes a difference. Week old eggs slip right out of their shells.
I boil them the same way Paige and add salt to the water. I'm starting to think maybe I'm just not patient enough!
Kerri I might try that next time!
I just discovered your blog from a friend. Oh the trials of peeling fresh eggs! I have tried many different methods. I have started leaving my eggs that I want to boil out for 4-5 days before cooking them. So far, so good. ;)
I found this on the Chickens in the Road blog. I have tried it twice and it's easy peasy. I have chickens and fresh eggs and couldn't ever peal an egg without taking half the white.
