depends on the time of year too, the shells are thinner in the colder months, i think its got to do with the feed changing from grain to silage or something like that, a cook told me once, but i dont recall. boiling eggs is a fighting matter, my mom and dad wont even discuss it anymore. im of the bring it to a boil, drop cold eggs in gently with a spoon for 15 minutes, run under cold water in a colander, the shells pop right off, the yolks are evenly firm, perfect for devilled eggs. now if i were at my moms and she walked in to me dropping eggs into boiling water, she would literally kick me out of her house.
