I've had troubles like that as well, they are hard to peel when they are so fresh..I was taught by my mom (a homemaking teacher) to boil for 20 min, then put in cold water for a bit then peel..well on Food Network, a chef said boil for 14 min, cold shock in very cold or ice water, then peel...it seems to work every time! Even with fresh eggs, but you have to peel them immediately, and don't let them sit out to dry. I have had great luck with this for yard eggs as well as store bought eggs.
