Best Answer

Anybody who keeps chickens will tell you that in the late Winter and early Spring, when snow melts and foliage is minimal, you find eggs the hens have laid "in the wild" for whatever reason instead of going to their nest in the coop.

I'd bet that's where the tradition of hunting Easter eggs originated!

Along the way, it's likely that you'll flush a hiding rabbit or two!!

Because it is Easter and christians celebrate the death of Jesus, and then how he rose again,

It also shows about a chicken who was turned into a heir, it discovered it could lay eggs so he painted them in pretty colours and left them around neighborhoods

Easter eggs are meant to symbolize the 'empty tomb of Jesus.' In other words, the shell of the egg represents impenetrable stone, yet still a life can be hatched from it.
