See! I’m not alone. It's like different years makes it different or something.
Years prior it would peel as you described and of course now it's perfect no matter how fresh or old the eggs are. Hopefully it stays like that the rest of the year or forever 😂
Okay wth 😂 I tried boiling an older egg (less than a week old or about a week old) and it peeled just as easily as the one I "froze"
I’m doing one last test on the egg boiling device that always gives me a hard time to peel fresh eggs. If they both peel easy then I give up.
My final conclusion...
Yes!! At this point I just eat the fresh eggs and then refrigerate then ones I didn't eat that day. That way I can actually enjoy fresh eggs instead of eating "old" eggs all the time. I still have eggs from March in my refrigerator but I eat the ones I collect daily in May 😂
I had heard that before, but doesn't work for me. I’ve boiled 3 month old eggs and it was just as difficult as boiling day old eggs. Half the egg stuck to the shell.
So far this has been the only thing that has worked.
Don't freeze them, but do place them in the freezer for a few hours to get them ice cold.
Then let them get back down to at least refrigerator temperature or whatever temperature you usually let your eggs get before boiling. Just not ice cold or they will explode 😂
I think that's why store bought eggs peel so easily. Don’t they put them in a cooler to transport them? They aren't frozen but they do get ice cold.
I just tried it again and they peeled so easily.
I used 3 to 5 day old eggs
I washed them, dried them, then placed them in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
Long enough to get them ice cold but not frozen.
I took them out, let them get back down to room temperature and boiled them my usual way:
Let water get to a running boil, add eggs gently, leave...
It's been a few weeks since I last used mine. But I think you have to hit the menu button until the days blink and then you hit the + or - buttons to add or subtract days. Will it let you do that?
When you set the days does it go to 21? Since the incubator can be used to hatch a variety of birds i.e. guineafowl, turkey, chicken, etc. You must set the days manually since it does not automatically get set to 21.
Oh is the tractor coop not covered?
This year I also had a broad breasted poult die after it got sick from hard rain. I had the tractor coop covered but it still got wet from one of the sides.
Thankfully it was just that one and it didn't/doesn't happen every single time it rains.
It can be difficult tallying everything up because not everyone who said they were setting eggs actually ended up setting any eggs. And sometimes the ones that did set eggs don’t direct message the admin member running the contest. I’ve seen some just posting it on the thread but that can get...
I keep forgetting to put my Fitbit on!!
But I am working out more! Kinda have to. My bloodwork showed that I was 8 pts over the recommended bad cholesterol. My BMI was pretty high up there too. 31.7 😱 of course they just base it on height/weight and not actual measurements so it's not super...
