I've baked them several times, but its not quite enough when they are only a week from being laid. :D I'm going to try the trick offered by a few other farmers - Add baking soda to the water when hard boiling eggs and the shell will come right off ~~ add 1/2 tsp of baking soda to the water it will make the egg shell easier to peel.

We didn't get to try it last night, but I'm going to try it today. :D
