Eggs from the store are probably a month old already. I put some freshly laid eggs in the fridge for 4 weeks and hard boiled them the old way (this was before I discovered steaming) and they were still nearly impossible to peel. The ones in the stores must be about that old already and a couple of extra weeks does the trick. I don't want to try to keep track of which eggs are six weeks old. lol
