  I tried boiling the egg for 8 minutes and it was pretty tough and a somewhat unappealing shade of grey, so I'd recommend cutting the cooking time down to about 4 minutes.

  Hi Mark, A very good point. If you are boiling chicken eggs, 4 minutes is entirely appropriate. However if you have either an Ostrich, Emu or a Kiwi egg (Kiwi eggs are the largest in the world in proportion to the birds size) then boiling time should be longer. I was basing my time off Velociraptor eggs.
