Has anyone noticed that eggs layed by specific hens peel better than others? I know older eggs tend to peel better period, but we eat so many eggs sometimes that is not an option. I have 4 EE hens. 2 lay blue (different shades), 1 olive and 1 brown. The brown eggs always peel super easy and are...

This has just happened to my husband and I. We have had about three to four eggs look the exact same way. They have not been cooked, they are gathered everyday and it is neither too hot( we have only had a couple of 80 degree days here and very few freezing temps. I have seen frozen eggs before...

Apparently nobody on the internet knows how long to hard boil goose eggs in normal boiling water, let alone in an Instant Pot. I found some soft-boiled goose egg recipes, and some for hard boiling duck eggs. So, I decided to just do 10 minutes in my electric pressure cooker. (NOT an Instant...

So I went to make a two egg over easy lunch today. Cracked the first egg in the pan… Grabbed another egg from the freshly laid (one day old egg) egg carton, cracked it and to my surprise it looked hard boiled. Scratched my head and put it aside and grabbed another, and that one again appeared to...

Nope, it's not the usual "They're impossible to peel!" problem. They peel better than any hard boiled eggs I've made in a pot of boiling water. The problem is, most of the shells crack. This last batch was 7 out of 10. I've been cooking them in my Instant Pot. 5 minutes pressure, 5 minutes...

I've tried EVERY trick on the internet, but no matter what EVERY egg from my coop is ruined when hard-boiled. Peeling the shells ends up cracking, gouging, and ruining the egg. I've tried using "old" eggs, the batch I did today have been in the fridge for a month. I"ve tried fresh eggs, no luck...

Has anyone ever hard boiled eggs and found a greenish tint to areas of the egg whites? I am not talking about the green ring the yolk can get when cooked too long. The tint is in the whites and it does not appear to matter how old the eggs are before boiling or how long they have been in the...

I just want to say that I did not come up with this on my own. Most steps has to be given credit to someone on Backyard Chickens forum. HOWEVER. Only one step was taken from each suggestion and then combined. That and I did a step or two of my own. I post this because I have read so many people...

How can I get nice, hard-boiled eggs without the grayish color around the yolk? Am I over-cooking them?

Good afternoon! I decided to hard boil several dozen of fresh eggs for a Easter Breakfast. I have never done this before- so I was hoping people here would share their tips. 😊 🐣 I did buy an egg cooker- but wasn’t sure if I should use that or go by boiling. I do need to refrigerate them after...

I have a small flock of assorted brown egg layers. I have noticed over the last few months that the darker eggs peel perfectly and the light ones are a mess. Wondering if it’s just a crazy coincidence or there is some reason behind this madness. Adding a picture just cause she is cute!

How is the best way to hard boil duck eggs? I can’t eat eggs but I want to hard boil and dye Easter eggs for gifts. My ducks are khakis and Welshies, so moderate size eggs. Thanks for your input!

I’m getting baby chicks today. 2 days old. I was told that they love mashed up/minced hard boiled eggs as treats- especially the yolk! Is it okay to give them this during the first few days I have them? I remember my last flock loving them and I fed early on. Okay to feed yolk first day I get...

I found this recipe on Facebook awhile back. Finally got to try it. It works! And, the shells are much easier to peel. I was boiling the eggs with a teaspoon of baking soda to soften that membrane on the egg. But, by baking them the membrane is not a problem. See the attached picture. I...

I've never seen this before. Why is this egg brown? Is this blood? Is there something wrong? I have a hen with a swollen abdomen that I don't quite know what the cause is, could this egg be from her? She's hasn't acted any different... Edit: Wait she actually has been acting different. She's...

I ordered hatching geese eggs in the mail. They came and I started hatching. After about 10 day I determined they were dead. The eggs where also starting to seep and smell at this point. I opened the egg in a ziploc bag and the yolk was solid and looked hard boiled. I have hatched hundreds of...

In addition to the fact that not all my chickens lay ordinary large eggs, I have 5 dozen medium eggs from the local food pantry. I'm trying to find a table that tells me how long to cook the eggs for different sizes of egg -- from small to jumbo. I can only find times for different doneness. Help?
