Why dose the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs. What's the reason behind this, I have to know?

This has been asked before, in a round-about-way, but here you go.

Apparently in france they believe a big flying bell flies in from Rome to deliver the chocolate. If you haven’t read the hilarious story by David Sedaris about explaining the American “easter bunny” concept to his french class mates, read it—it will make you laugh…here’s the link

NEWS FLASH easter bunny equals NOT REAL

What a moron (Dino). We know it’s not real!

The easter bunny carries eggs beecause he is friends with the chicks and they gave him their eggs

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

The Easter Bunny has the same sort of professional relationship with chickens as Santa Clause does his elves.
