Yes, we all know what you are talking about fresh eggs do not peal well when cooked the way you're used to doing it. Here's what you do. Get the water boiling first - rapid boil. Gently lower eggs in with a ladle. 14 minutes later drain and run pan full of cold water. Peel.

Yes, it's a little backwards, but it works. It seems that membrane clings very tightly to fresh eggs.

Very fresh eggs have basically zero airspace inside, so peeling hard-boiled fresh eggs generally takes the cold water trick mentioned above.

Nothing wrong
that is what is called a fresh egg
the ones that are easy to peel are not fresh is all
when you hard boil them, put a tsp of baking soda in the water
it breaks the bond of membrane to egg and makes them easy to peel
Congrats
