Any easy way off getting the shells off? Spent ages nitpicking the little things off. Annoying :-( |

roll them on the draining board to crack them all over - generally just pop staright out of their shells then. Lucy x |

Bec she was at work and only came back during the final cracking procedure. You would have thought she would have left me instructions on how to boil these things. |

Fresh eggs don't peel easily. Use ones that you've had a bit longer. Eggs can last a long time before they go off. |

We've had some chicks hatch out in our reception class this week, so we have fluffy chicks in a brooder box and an incubator full of discarded shells. I think the chicks had more difficulty getting out of the shells than you ever will in peeling eggs Daniel! nell |
