This tradition began when the Norkel's lost their colored vision. Now I bet you are wondering what the heck is a Norkel right? This creature is a oftenly a brown or gray colored rabbit with feathers mixed in with its fur giving it a very puffy appearance. Not only are they puffy and cute but they can fly with their short stubby wings, as well as cloud hop from those visions of fluffiness. They love perching on clouds hovering over carrot farms while they drool slightly watching the farmers work.
One curious day a unicorn stallion named Green Roots, was tilling his carrot field, sweat dripping from his eyebrows. He did not like the Norkels one bit, for they often ate his hard days work. But he knew that the Norkels hated the green vegetable known as the cucumber while similar in shape. This detested green food often scared away most of the feathery creatures. Green Roots love to trick the pests from above by painting his beloved stock in a moldy green color.
For a few days this would protect his stock from the gluttonous vegetarians. Of course the Norkels would figure out the gimmick when the their stomachs growled loud enough. This powerful growling would increase the basic instincts of the feathery abominations giving them nearly super scenting ability. When the gag was up they would fall from the clouds, like a descended mouth destroying his field and product. Green Roots would pace his fields attempting to scare off the offending pest. but even his strength would wain as he grew tired.
A vicious thought struck his mind like thunder, he would only grow cucumbers for a week as he would clop his hooves together. During this cucumber week he would prepare a color blindness curse on his hidden batch of carrots. As the week progress the Norkels grew famished circling his field searching for food. The week was ending, when he revealed his secret batch of carrots by removing a camouflaged tarp off his field. The Norkels drooled from the clouds as their bodies heaved with desire, they could only see the brilliant colored oranges in their vision.
The starving creatures famished as they were and plopped greedily upon the ground feasting with much glee. The cursed magic placed within the carrots began warping the vision of the Norkels. They lost color well all but one color everything turned into different shades of green. They only saw green caused by this horrible simple spell casted by a angry unicorn protecting his product Green Roots. The feathery creatures soon left his farm hungry as their bodies told them mating season was upon them.
The Norkels were known by a select few as the most colorful eggs with varying shades of every spectrum. These colors serve a purpose it helps the furry rabbits grow closer to their colorful bizarre babies. Unfortunately this cursed spell gave the egg layers shades of green which confused and disgusted the poor souls. They soon abandon the eggs in random parts of Equestria not believing that those were their own.
These sad brightly colorful eggs in a spiral form would be snatched by the predators of the land searching for an easy meal. Naturally their vibrant colors and unguarded pose made it quite easy for an accident or a predator to destroy these precious creatures. This vicious cycle was quickly wiping out the Norkels that lived in Equestria leading them towards extinction.
Until one fateful day in the future when a kind loving pegasus came across a colorful egg abandon in a nearby field....

My apologies this is supposed to lead towards a MLP idea of a Easter like holiday. I am simple amateur with grand ideas in my fantasies but sadly lacking in my mind. Please enjoy
I was lost but was found by kindness.
The clouds were floating across the horizon softly drifting on the gently breeze created by hard working pegasi. As a nearby grassy field was bending its weeds in the wind revealing a brightly swirly colorful egg. It was sitting snugly between two daisies as the wind blew the petals across the field. The birds were chirping loudly in a cacophony of music creating a serene scene to anyone that could hear them. The ground shifted slightly as mother Equestria danced in its inner crusts creating a very minor earthquake.
In the nearby distance the sleeping Norkel which inhabit the egg heard a soft "oof."
Fluttershy had nonchalantly tripped over a stone in her path causing her to stumble into the earth, which ruffled a few of her feathers. She raised her head from the dirt and blew the mane out of her face with a dry expression upon her face. She used her wings to push up from the ground which gave away which caused her to roll into the grassy field from the path. She closed eyes before impact, clenching her jaw tightly before the harsh slam occurred.
She slowly opened her eyes with dizzy vision but as her head cleared she saw something amazing by her standards. What was revealed to her was an astoundingly brightly beautiful egg which caused her heart to flutter. Her pupils grew several times larger as her heart fluttered on. The wind carried the song of the birds over this patch of grass as the pegasus lay upon the earth staring.
"Ooo dear what a wonderful precious egg," she whispered "Oh no where are your parents little eggy."
Fluttershy Flitted about making random animal calls attempting to reach this eggs parents. She was hoping to contact the local animals when suddenly she saw something she never seen before .. again. She spotted in a nearby tree branch was a muddy colored rabbit roughly the size of a small dog. This creature was preening its feathers as it listed to its side showing its ribs plain as day.
She spoke with awe " He looks like angel bunny, how cute!"
Then concern lit her eyebrows "Oh dear oh dear you look hungry Mr. bunny."
The Norkel responded with a weak mewling sound which caused more concern within the animal loving pegasus. The mare slowly picked up the beautiful egg and approached the creature perched upon the tree branch. She had intentions to return the growing child in egg form to its parent she felt it within her that this was his baby. The feathery creature observed the oncoming mare with heavy caution twitching its nose in her direction.
"Here you go little pretty." she cooed.
The Norkel grew agitated on the branch heaving its chest faster as she approached. He appeared fearful and curious at the same time which confused Fluttershy. The bird song increased in tempo creating a frenzy tension in the air. When the male saw the egg in her hooves and the muddy Norkel snubbed the potential child with a flutter of its wings.
Confused she asked "Whats wrong sweetie come here."
The Muddy feathery rabbit took to the sky leaving them behind distraught seen in its flying pattern.
"Oh dear oh dear this is a problem." she said dejectedly.
When she suddenly heard a voice from the path behind her "Whats wrong Fluttershy."
The pegasus turned around to see her young lavender mare who happened to be the princess of friendship. She noticed that her friend was attempting to read a book as she traversed the path laid ahead. Her appearance appeared a bit disheveled due to a failed preening session taught by Fluttershy. She levitated her book back into her satchel and smiled at her adorable friend Fluttershy who appeared bewildered in the field of grass.
"Oh hi Twilight, sorry I was talking to a new species of rabbit with wings!" she exclaimed with excitment and concern.
"Hmm that sounds like the equestrian Norkel, a unique cloud hopping rabbit with a obsession for carrots." Twilight rattled off quickly as if referencing a favored book.
"Amazing Twilight I never knew about the Equestrian Norkel does that mean there are other types of Norkels out there?" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Why yes Fluttershy there are many species of Norkels but this particular species has taken a radical change in behavior." Twilight stated with a tinge of excitement.
"Is abandoning its own egg part of the change?" She asked innocently as she clutched the egg.
"Well yes you see in the past few years their behavior has become rather odd nearly extinction weird." The princess of studying said as she pulled a note pad from her satchel.
Fluttershy held the egg tightly against her pony bosom letting her warm feathers protect the sleeping child. She listened to her friend talk in detail about the Norkels with a faint gleam in her eyes. It was getting late in the afternoon as the gentle blue sky shined down across both ponies.
"They have started leaving the eggs on their own!" She gasped at Twilights extra details about the Norkels.
"Yes or so I have gathered from a few reports Princess Luna had sent me." The lavender mare said with a tilt of her head.
"This odd behavior warrants some more investigation what do you think?" The princess of friendship asked.
"I believe we should ask our friends for help Twilight, I think this situation might be bigger than both of us." Fluttershy said as concern rippled across her face while clutching the spiral egg.
Twilight flapped her wings while nodding simultaneously to her dear friend. "Then let us be off." Was her final words as they darted off into the horizon leaving the grassy field alone in midday.
