If these are farm fresh eggs, they are almost impossible to peel. If you let farm fresh eggs age a few days or more, then it is better. The reason store bought eggs are much easier to peel is because they are old eggs with a thinner shell. Farm fresh have a tougher shell . I have 8 chickens who lay daily 6-8 eggs. the ones I keep I store in a small refrigerator so they age a bit. Rest I give to my happy neighbors. After boiling eggs, cover with cold water and let sit until the eggs have cooled down. I actually cover with cold water and store in the water in the refrig over nite. Next morning, I peel the eggs and they come out almost perfect.
