Age. An older egg has had more time to break down and become more brittle.

Put a splash of salt and vinegar in the boiling water before you boil your eggs, and you’ll find the shells separate much easier. The salt penetrates the egg shell and the vinegar breaks it down a bit more. fresh or older eggs all peel well with this trick.
