That is true. I read in an article years ago that old eggs peel easier. But the article didn't say what 'old' was. I found out on my own. I make hard boiled eggs by putting about 8 of them in a pot of cold water and bringing to a boil with a lid on, then removing from the burner as soon as they start to boil and leave sitting with the lid still on for half an hour or even less. Another advantage to this method is that you won't forget and accidentally leave them on the fire too long. Even if you do forget, at least you're not going to burn the house down.
