I have chickens, and steam eggs in a steamer pot on the stove, but these kind of eggs when they didn’t peel right is from an old chicken. Something to do with membrane is not great on them
No special prep, just in a pot with a steaming trivet or basket with water up to the basket, eggs in for exactly 10 minutes with a lid on, then immediately transfer over to ice cold water.
I made boiled (well, steamed) eggs in my instant pot and they came out perfect…
Put eggs on trivet/riser. Add 1c water. Lid on, sealed. 5 minutes high pressure. 5 minutes off and sealed. 1 minute venting. 5+ minutes ice bath.
The ice bath is the critical part.
The shells slide off.

How old are your girls?
Mine are just turning two and it’s my first flock…I’d gotten some soft-shell eggs lately (which are surprisingly durable), but that’s about it.
You might need to get some oyster shells. They might not be getting enough calcium. Especially young hens need it sometimes.
Well most are now over 5 yrs old, my oldest hen was 12, and she just died last July. My oldest hen now is like 8.
This is the girl who turned 12 last year
Just did 5 dozen in batches in my instapot, game changer for sure. Its the only way id do it now.
60 eggs all at once, or 5 batches of a dozen each?
As I understand it, you should be able to pile the eggs on in there, they shouldn’t move like they would in a full rolling boil.
But at the same time, I had been warned not to put all of my eggs together.
Warned not to put your eggs in one basket, as it were?
I do mine on the stove.
