For some reason hardboiled fresh eggs are a lot harder
to peel than the older store bought eggs.
It doesn't matter whether the eggs are "home made" or store bought, "organic" "inorganic" "Free range" or any other kind of chicken or duck egg, they peel much easier after they're about three weeks old.
When I was a kid, my gramma kept a raft of chickens and gathered eggs every day. All she'd do was wipe 'em clean with a rag wet with bleach solution, then dip 'em in an enameled bucket of sodium silicate solution (Water glass) with an old tablespoon, then they went onto an old cookie sheet to dry. Eggs treated this way stay fresh for up to nine months, as bacteria and mold are excluded and water can't evaporate. Usually she used 'em up long before the nine months were up. She stored eggs in the flour bin under the counter in the kitchen. If you try this, poke a hole in the big end with a darning needle before boiling 'em to vent steam. The shells will not be porous and can explode. It is "interesting" to say the least.
Gramma did her eggs that way to save room in her refrigerator. She had one with the condenser on top, and it was tiny inside. She loved that thing, because it worked a whole lot better than the old ice box on the back porch before they had electricity.
I remember going to Gramma and Grampa's house before they had electricity. Power outages do not scare me like they do some folks. I loved sitting in the kitchen at night listening to the radio that ran on batteries charged by the little windmill alongside the house. Light was from kerosene lamps and the big Aladdin mantle lamp on the kitchen table so Grampa could read the big Norwegian Family Bible. I'd sit on his lap and he'd point to the words so I could follow along as he read 'em aloud in Norwegian. Good times.
If you don't like Miracle Whip, use mayonnaise. You'll need a bit more vinegar, pickle juice, or lemon juice, to add a bit of tanginess, mayo is pretty flat tasting. I like my egg salad tangy, it should bite the side of the tongue just a bit.
