Welcome! :-)
It's what the folks on my poultry list said...

On a note tho', I did not remove them right away from the heat when I
turned it off. They sat for about another 5 minutes before I took them
out and added the cold water......

I take it this worked for you too???

I'm thrilled. I tend to avoid hard cooked eggs because they were SUCH a
PITA tro try to peel and this time of year, I'm getting too many eggs...

Dad bought new chicks last fall and they are getting going... Red sex
links! Excellent layers but they don't live very long. About 4 years. :-(
