Boiled egg rolls slower than a raw egg , because it has a higher moment of inertiathan a raw egg . In order to conserve angular momentum , the angular velocity of the boiled egg decreases . The hard boiled egg moves as if it was one solid unit.

I am asking for relation between moment of inertia of the two eggs or formulae.... If any.
    And for sure,  the explanation you give is absolutely right.
