How come eggs sometimes crack when you boil them?

Asked by jca (36062points) April 1st, 2010

I want to hard boil eggs for Easter and i have found, in the past, that if i hard boil 3 i may get 1 cracked in the pot. What causes the eggs to crack while being boiled? Could it be that the heat is too high? I am planning to boil a lot for Easter and i don’t want to lose ⅓rd!!
