    Hey all, just wanted to let everyone here in on a little secret of how the peel fresh eggs. I poke a hole in the top(the round part). I then drop them in boiling salted water, just a small palmful of salt will do. I let them boil for about 5 minutes, shut the heat off remove them from the stove, and cover for about 10-12 minutes. Then i drain em and soak em in ice cold water until cool. I also roll them around in the empty pan to crack them. Then presto!!! This has worked for me every time no matter how fresh the eggs are. I hope this helps some of you.

    I'll have to try that! I boiled a bunch of eggs for Thanksgiving and couldn't peel them, so the chickens had a feast...

    I've learned to let my fresh eggs sit on the counter for the afternoon instead of putting them right in the fridge. It seems to age them enough so if you chose to boil them they can be peeled easily. I haven't had a problem at all with peeling them since I started doing this.
