Food in England, Dorothy Hartley, p. 212
Fresh and older eggs should be cooked differently (What is considered a non-fresh egg? How old must it be?)
Boiling an older egg - place in boiling water for 3.5 minutes.
Fresh egg - place in boiling water for 3.5 minutes. Remove the boiling bot of water from the heat source and let sit for an additional 5-6 minutes with the egg in it. 'Eggs cooked in this way can be kept in hot water for some time without becoming hard, and it preserves the natural moisture in the new-laid egg.'
