If you refer to Easter Eggs and the origin of the celebration, there is a thorough explanation on this page: http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/origin-of-the-easter-egg-faq.htm

"Exchanging Easter eggs with one another is a custom that goes back thousands of years. Long before its association with Easter, the egg was a symbol of rebirth. Many ancient cultures used the egg to symbolize both rebirth and the universe. Ancient peoples such as the Persians, the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Gauls, and the Romans all used the egg in their springtime celebrations."

However, if you are referring to eggs in particular; there is plenty of scientific evidence that dinosaurs were bearers of their young by means of an egg. This evidence dates millions and millions of years ago. Some believe up to 3 million years.
