HI Alan:

It has to do with the freshness of the egg and the conditions of storage.  "Store eggs" are frequently several days from laying to household and they are usually refrigerated especially in the US.  Refrigeration dehydrates the shell membrane both causing it to become somewhat "brittle", and pull away from the shell in spots due to shrinkage. Hence making them easier to peel when boiled.

 

Fresh eggs boiled within a few hours of lay, &/or kept in a humid environment to slow dehydration, are much more difficult to peel.

 

Enjoy!
