I always put hardboiled eggs in cold water OP, but usually leave them to get quite cold, perhaps I won't leave them so long next time. They did rather resemble the surface of the moon when I'd finished peeling them!

It's hard work separating the membrane. Especially once the white starts to peel off.

Oh I see. How are they getting on in the cold weather? They seem to cope better in cold weather than they do in hot. Chickens come from dark leafy forests so are naturally built for shade. Come the summer they get very hot, and seem to lay about a lot in shady places. I give mine frozen peas and ice lollies (only natural fruit ones) that seem to help cool them. The ice melts in their crops cooling them down.

Georgie has finally made it, she laid her first egg yesterday!!! It is slightly paler than Bea's so hopefully I will be able to tell them apart in the future, not that it matters really. I was to have a boiled egg salad yesterday, so I boiled a 'Bea' egg and a 'Georgie' egg: I have found out that these fresh eggs don't peel as easily as others. Bea's egg is the top one. They were REALLY lovely. oh my goodness those fluffy bum eggs look lush-yuuuummmmmmm indeed
