Maybe some of their eggs are from closer to home and more fresh. I don’t refrigerate fresh eggs.
On the egg subject, does anyone know why eggs boiled at Easter seem to not peel as nice as other times?
Is it because they are older eggs that have been stockpiled for the holiday?
Because they’re cooled slowly. You need to ice them down to get the outermost layer to shrink away. Otgerwise they cling.
Actually boiled eggs peel better when they are at least five days old.
Boil em in vinegar.
One tsp for each quart of water used.
Fresh eggs don’t peel well. Let them sit at least a week.
Now that we have hens, I’ve become hooked on fresh eggs. I love to see orange yolks instead of yellow and the flavor is distinctly better. The Girls easy to keep, requiring just a daily check on their food and water and a weekly change of bedding straw.
As a side benefit, chickie poop makes a killer fertilizer but it MUST be very well composted. Fresh chicken manure will fry your plants! (I like to spread my compost in the fall, then let the snow work its magic.)
If you put baking soda in the water you cook them in they will be easier to peel.
