Keep the fresh eggs on the counter for a week or so before boiling, and your shell will come off properly.

- caymanjim 5y agoIf you do this, it's vital that you do not wash the bloom off. Once you wash eggs you have to refrigerate them.
- hammock 5y agoNo one does that except the egg processors
- caymanjim 5y agoI've seen many amateurs do it. There's been a big uptick over the past decade of people raising chickens in their back yards without having any experience or guidance. Not that you need a lot; just important to do some research.
- Kerrick 5y agoFor particularly messy eggs I'll do it right before cracking them. But they stay dirty until it's time to cook.
- igetspam 5y agoWe keep ours in a skelter and I boil a dozen of so when it starts to overflow. This has been my experience as well. I have 17 chickens, 16 of them are hens. I get 9-12 a day and my neighbors love me because we don't eat them. The yolks are big and deep orange/yellow and people seem to love them. I have y purchased an egg in a few years so I have no frame of reference any more. They're free range and they eat everything they can find (snakes, frogs, lizards, bugs, plants) and all the feed and scratch I feed them.
