Thanks to google, I found a fool-proof method for hard boiling fresh eggs. I use a needle to poke a small hole in the wider end of each egg, lower them into boiling water and let them simmer for 15 minutes then let them sit in an ice water bath for 15 minutes. They peel perfectly! I have spent the last 4 years either "aging" eggs in the fridge for a few weeks before hard boiling them OR losing half the egg that sticks to the shell whenever I try to peel very fresh eggs.
We'll be having plenty of perfect, backyard fresh deviled eggs for Easter this year. mmmm!

Nice to see how well cared for the chickens are...you make "eggsellent" fowl parents! Good job amidst all your other activities too.
