I have never heard anything like that. I don't think the chicken/egg/rabbit story has anything to do with Jesus.

Ok, advertising tells us that the egg is both "incredible" and "edible." Regarding this as fact (because ads don't lie) we then can discern that somehow Jesus was also both things, based on the fact that some people paint eggs that come from rabbits forty days from Mardi Gras, which was also the day that Jesus rose from the grave. Many would argue for Jesus's incredible-ness easily, said to have walked on water and the whole miracle thing; but how is he edible? In some versions of Christianity, people consume bread which is considered the body of christ, which they share so that sins may be forgiven and use wine as blood. This is making Jesus pretty edible, too. So when one thinks of Jesus and his incredible, edible-ness, one would also thing of the egg. So really, when one actually focuses on it just a little too long, Jesus and the egg have everything to do with each other. The hiding of the eggs allows us to create a simple search to find just a little more Jesus in our lives. And finally, the rabbit comes in because it is much, much cuter than the chicken....

Here are some various answers found doing a little net hunting:
Theory 1:
What do eggs have to do with Easter? Well, from a very long time ago, eggs have been considered the seed of life. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, how he was raised from the dead. The Easter egg represents that new life.
Theory 2:
"Just as a chick breaks out of an egg, so had Jesus broken free of the tomb of death. Easter eggs remind us that Jesus conquered death and gives us eternal life."
No clue how the bunny got brought into it.

The roman emperor Constantine decided to make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire shortly before his death, 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ. In order to bury the "pagan" religions that were "competing" with Christianity, the heads of the Christian Church, associated Pagan holidays with Christian events. The rebirth of Christ at Easter was set to coincide with a pagan fertility holiday, long associated with Rabbits, Chickens, and Eggs, because of their ease of procreation. Many Christian events have been superimposed atop Pagan holidays in order to subvert the masses to Christianity. Look at the arbitrary date of 25 Dec as Christ's Birth. Many historians peg Jesus's actual birth to be during the summer, when the "star" would have been at it's Zenith. So in affect Jesus's only real connection to Eggs are humans.

Eggs are a symbol of fertility-a new life, thus the reason eggs are associated with Easter and Jesus. Jesus felt that belief in his teachings would lead one's soul after a physical death to another new life, another new beginning.

Its probably because when jesus ressurected it's known as Easter and during easter we hide eggs and eggs come from chickens but it's known to come from the easter rabbit.

The celebration of easter is not a christian holiday, it was actually a pagan holiday celebrating the goddess ishitar. It was a celebration of fertility and springtime and the eggs and rabbits were symbols of such. During the Early roman empire I believe this pagan tradition was merged with the christian observence of passover and thus easter was born.

Easter is a fertility festival. You know; Spring is in the air, new birth, creating nests. Just because some Christian throws a chocolate cross in your fertility basket doesn't change the fact that Easter is about fertility.

It is easy to critise an egg but difficult to lay one.
That my dear, teaches you the Spirit of Lord Jesus.

The color of the chocolate eggs is the same as the color of the wood on the cross.
