Actually it has to do with the end of lent. In biblical times people would not eat eggs during lent and so as not to wasted them they would hard cook them and then at the end of lent there would be lots of hard boiled eggs, . Easter usually coincides with the end of lent so the tradition got intermixed

an Easter egg symbolises the rock that rolled back from the cave Jesus's body was put in, therefore letting everyone aware that Jesus had been resurrected!

It is a pagan practice. It was an ancient worship of the goddess Ishtar. She was a goddess of fertility and love. The egg is a symbol of fertility, hence the egg was a symbol of her followers worship to her. "Ishtar" is also where the word "Easter" comes from. It is the influence of the pagans and the catholic church, that Easter is celebrated by coloring eggs. The catholic church adopted many pagan customs and observances, to be more pagan friendly in hopes of converting more people to Catholicism.
