Egg yolk kept shape when pierced

There's nothing wrong with it -- unless being of extraordinary quality is a fault.

Welcome to the world of having fresh eggs! They are so much easier to make over easy than store bought and they hardboil differently as well. Their shells don't come off as well and they have a thicker coating on them.
 
Eat Fresh!! Grow yer Own!! You get eggs that stand up under pressure. I literally have to spread the yolk with a fork in the pan.
As far as peeling hardboiled, I learned here on BYC that you boil your water first, lower the eggs in with a big spoon, (cause I get BIG eggs), boil for about 12 -15 minutes, then immediately cool down under cold running water. Then they peel nicely.
 
They're just high quality & fresh! We're used to the store ones and assume that's "normal". Having your own hens will readjust your ideas of normal eggs.

I recently baked something with eggs and was surprised how firm the yolks were. The French use different recipes at different times of year, based on the eggs (which reflect the birds' diets). Maybe yolks are just firmer in the spring?
