Who all does this? I always have but recently was around a bunch of guys that had never heard of it. Found it very strange

I've seen it in a gumbo before, I'd rather it not in mine, but it's not as common as eggs in a stew.

I do it in turtle soup. Never done it in gumbo, but can't see why it would be bad 
Sometimes potato salad has boiled egg in it. I have had it that way and it was good. Might have to try it

Never even heard that was a thing.

I've seen it done once or twice. I like to eat my boiled eggs cold, so not really a fan.

I got the tip from a VP friend. I like it, but haven't done it in some time.

I've had it from people from Lafayette and Pineville of all places

Does it really affect the rest of the gumbo? just don't eat the egg

It was always a standard growing up in Gueydan. At least with shrimp/seafood gumbos. I don't think my family ever included it in chicken gumbo but I could be mistaken.

I once heard from a legitimate coonass that boiled eggs in a chicken & sausage gumbo helped soak up the grease.

I've seen it all my life and done it quite a bit. It's to stretch the gumbo just as all my old working class Italian friends moms and grandmothers put them in their red gravy. Same reason. You have a large family you did it.
And I've seen them put in raw and poached rather than boiled and they have a better flavor.

It's awesome in gumbo. Some people break open eggs and let them boil in gumbo too.
