I also used to raise egg chickens and sell eggs! It is just the nature of the beast for fresh eggs to be really stubborn "peelers". When I wanted deviled eggs-I bot store eggs. Of course they have NO taste but with mayo, mustard and whatever you add, no-one will know the difference. I had one customer that continued to call me when she found little dark brown spots in her hard boiled eggs. Guess WHAT! We had roosters!!!! (fertilizing the eggs~) Ask your grocer how old those store eggs are? Bet you'll be surprised! At least 6 weeks (plus) old. Also, FRESH eggs don't need to be refrigerated for at least a few weeks. go figure!
