To peel a hardboiled egg, I crack, then place it in a container half filled with water.
I then shake it like a martini.
Once out, the shell peels away quite easily.

This is what I do and it works well.I am new to raising chickens myself, and I had a terrible time peeling eggs too. I tried everything under the sun, until a co-worker, who also has chickens, said he never has a problem peeling eggs, he steams his. So i tried steaming them in a veggie steamer, and they peel perfectly, even fresh eggs. For hard boiled eggs, i steam for 15 minutes on medium heat, covered. I have a smaller steam basket so I do 6 at a time.
I googled it & found a method used by Pioneer woman, Ree Drummond. She puts the eggs into boiling water, gently simmer 13 minutes, then directly into an ice bath for 5 minutes. Works great!Does anyone know why back yard chicken eggs are so hard to peel when boiled? Every time I try to peel one, just about all I have left when done is the yolk
I steam mine for 20 minutes, then run cool water over them and put them in the fridge. It works great. I can cook eggs the day I collect them and have no issues peeling.News flash! I just found THE BEST way to make hard boiled eggs that peel easily! Stream them for 22 minutes then cool. They peel super easily!
