I have read that fresh eggs need some time to age before they're easy to peel.

I'm sorry.. what do you mean age? And for how long?

I have read that the store bought eggs peel easy because they are a few weeks old by the time we buy them. I would post a link, but it's difficult to do from my phone. You can search the site for boil eggs and lots of posts have tips. Some say aging, salt, and even vinegar help.

yes fresh eggs are much harder to peel. either let them sit for a couple weeks first before you boil and peel or you can try the method that we have been doing. We bake them in muffin tins in the oven. You can google and find the exact instructions. They peal much easier that way.

The whites will be a bit thinner than store eggs, they are fresh so don't be to worried about that. If the shells are thin and porous than you can try adding some oyster shell for calcium or crush up egg shells from eggs you use and feed it back to them. Make sure you crush them up though so they don't get the idea of eating fresh eggs!
