How do rabbits have eggs on easter?
Who came up with the easter egg laying bunny thing? Do kids ever figure out that rabbits have live birth? I would think that would be a dead give away on the easter bunny haven eggs thing, dont you?

Both bunnies and eggs are signs of fertility, rebirth. It has to do more with spring than with bunnies laying eggs.
But, they do ;-) (click link).
@jmah That link scared my dog, lol.
Eggs were the main part of ancient Greek festival [I think] to celebrate fertility and new plants and hope for harvest. No bunnies. Again some smart guy saw a way to make money.
@faye sounds amost like rudolph
how did the bunny get in the mix?
No effing idea and rudolph??!!
well you said some smart guy saw a way to make money thats how they came up with rudolph lmao, im still tryn to figure out how my sister came up with the smart comment on the bunny deal (shocking to me)
Why did the Easter egg hide?
He was a little chicken!
loll..i’m easy amused Chyna! gave you got a laugh! that is why we come here….
the “eggheads” in the lab are still trying to figure that out . ;-)
I have a little bunch of branches that we decorate with little ornaments of bunnies, esss, little baskets
They spend the rest of the year fisting in preparation.
actually , it is a fact that bunnys lay eggs ! scientists have eggsplored this for a while .. although it is not eggsactly understood how or why . but the bunny has the right hentrence and eggsit for this on their body . some henthusitiasts say the eggs are born to prepare for good fryday..some say the bunny needs lots of eggsersise and they may even have to egged on a bit for it to actually happen ,so you shouldent have high eggspectations at first. some think the shell is to prevent hearing the little ones fowl language at easter,,, some say only the ones named shelly are born as eggs .some say that “crackbunny” eggs are born scrambled .. . others say this is all eggzaggerated and suspect fowlplay and that they really are bunny farmers that grow eggplant. ........lol thats all i got , sorry… .... tryin to be a comedihen
ROTFLMFAO wow i love that answer Witch
incredible planning on their part and ingestion of egg dyes.
@Angels21fvryoung thanx , at least someone likes my attempt at humor . it seems it is frowned upon at times .
Eggs are a fertility symbol. I hope I don’t have to explain why.
Rabbits are also a fertility symbol, because they are prolific breeders.
We use a cluster of fertility symbols around a spring holiday that old Pagan cultures used to celebrate fertility because Spring is the time of increasing fertility. Back when people farmed for their lives (instead of thinking food came from a grocery store), this meant it would be possible to grow food again and you wouldn’t die of eternal winter. This seems to be a point lost on city slickers. ;)
Then at some point, Christianity came along with its Reborn God (see: fertility symbol) that it may well have copped from other religions too, and attached their fertility festival to the Pagan fertility season, in hopes that the Pagans of old Europe would somehow become Christians instead. (They did the same thing for Christmas, by the way.) And it seems to have worked.
Here, History.Com explains your symbols for you. It was the first hit on Google. ;)
They steal them from the chickens…..those cocky rabbits….
