got to share...I boil eggs immediately from the nest box and have no issues peeling them. NONE..my hubby was shocked.. I keep my eggs on the counter so I don't have to worry about them being cold..
but I bring the water to a boil
then lower basket full of eggs into boiling water
boil for about 11 to 12 minutes
take basket of eggs and lower immediately into a big bowl of ice water~most important step!!
let cool then voila~easy peeling eggs!
someone shared this with me on BYC and it WORKS!!!
My egg yolks are amazing when cooked like this! Not dry and crumbly, but moist and beautiful!!
Let me know how it works for you..
I have a basket like this that I use for boiling eggs...makes it soooo much easier

another thing that helps is when eggs are in carton on counter is to put carton on its side so eggs are sideways not up and down...helps center yolks, important when making deviled eggs
