I think a Marlin .450 can take out any egg that walks the North Americian continent.
Happy Easter

The .22lr leaves the most edible "meat" but I would prefer a .177 pellet rifle with pointed "pass thru" pellets to leave the maximum un damaged meat. what is tuff is the yolk is the "head" but you never know where the head is so you may end up with a bunch of "heart doctor" approved fatless protein:barf::barf::barf:

G'day. It will all depend on the size and type of the egg you intend to hunt.
Are you after a trophy or are you trying to put food on the table?
Are they the cocoa variety of egg or the hard sugar candy type?
What is the expected range and the type of terrain you intend to hunt in?
Have you done the "EGG HUNTERS SAFETY COURES"?
When will people learn to use the search feature?
You need to give us some more details so we can help.
It's the old question all over again. I'm getting sick of it. Blah blah blah.....

I prefer my Quackenbush .177 Air rifle ( with darts). Minimal damage to edible "goodies", yet makes a clean kill. TIP: If you intend on munching on the kill...don't use the poison darts!

I'd say go with 9mm.
There are a lot of different sizes of eggs out there. Most being the size of chicken eggs, while some resemble ostrich eggs. .22 should do the job, but I'd say 9mm just to make sure, and make it more fun

I don't even mess with peeps any more. Bad experience. I'll give you a hint, .223 is not big enough. There wounds just close right back up, and they keep coming.
Eggs, well... depends on the egg. I've bagged a few jumbos in my day, but it wasn't easy and I have years of experience. I wouldn't recommend trying for a jumbo (or even an extra large) on your first hunt. Stick with the smalls and mediums and work your way up. I agree with dragon that you need a brush gun. I prefer the 35 Remington.

Watch For Mommy
Be careful out there. Those bunnies laying the eggs out can be quite protective. Don't be so focused on the eggs that you don't see momma bunny sneaking up behind you. If you think your egg hunting might result in a bunny encounter, make sure you have a few hand grenades on you.
