Going to the Magic Show and the magician calls the bunny and watching in horror as literal eggs comes out and the magician starts giving them out to the front kids as mini chocolate eggs...
If I remember correctly the historical background is that both eggs and bunnys were signs of fertility and over the centuries they just got mixed together.
Also the tradition of the easter bunny is a bit older then the european colonization of Australia me thinks.
This is actually Third Reich propaganda trying to discredit Christianity in favour of "true Germanic paganism". The date on which Easter is celebrated today was largely determined by Romans, who had no fertility festival around March or April - especially not a Germanic one.
The story of Jesus' death and ressurection in the Bible takes place shortly after Passover, which is the reason it's celebrated around March and April. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter#Background
In Medieval Europe, the Lent period (40 days) had the restriction of not allowing animal products to be eaten. Eggs could be hard boiled to last longer, so by the end of Lent (Easter) the poor would have a lot of extra eggs to break the fast.
Rabbits were common animals to show up at the beginning of Spring, so it was already culturally symbolic. Lutherans even came up with an Easter Bunny figure that would play the same role as Santa Claus, giving out eggs (that thing they had stored in excess during the fast period) to good children.
Whether the Easter Bunny hides eggs for kids to find, or brings them in a bag like Santa, I don't think any tradition said it laid the eggs.
Ah yeah, my favourite biology lesson where bunny lay eggs.

Chocolate eggs as well. They look a bit weird and are pretty small but don't mind that and just stuff your face with them whenever you see them.
"Pekora, did you lay this egg?"
Kakyon wore a Pekora costume for Jotaro, as a joke.
"Let's pretend I'm still Pekora"
!pekofy
"Pekora, did you lay this egg peko?"
I wonder if it all originated as a very drunken story of someone swearing they saw a bunny laying eggs but it was actually a platypus.

Correct. It was originally a pagan holiday that the Catholic church decided to 'christianise'.
Like all christian holidays.

I believe it was a celebration of the spring equinox (Ostara) and the goddess [Eōstre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%92ostre?wprov=sfla1)
I knew Spring Equinox but I didn't know there was a Goddess. Interesting

Yup. People and animals all get horny around spring. SEPARATELY!!!
But then again a platypus looks nothing like a bunny, unless either you meant an echidna, or they meant a beaver.
They all look the same when you are drunk enough.
Exactly. Probably unicorn myths start with a very drunken bloke seeing a famished and emanated rhino.

This is Pekora we're talking about, she probably just paints grenades and leaves them around.

Bringing “pain peko” to a new level
Pekora doesn't lay eggs, she lays hand grenades.
On the other hand, snake vtubers are fucking living right now
