You can collect a Golden Egg in various spots on the island

With the arrival of the Easter event, Epic Games released two types of chickens that spawn in various points on the island. Purple and green chickens now drop eggs, which are the game's latest consumable items. To collect a Golden Egg, you must first find a chicken and wait for it to lay an egg. However, golden eggs are quite rare, so you may need to wait for a longer period of time.

Here are the steps you must follow to complete this quest:

1) Choose a landing spot

To complete the latest Fortnite Spring Breakout challenge, you need to land in a location that has many chickens. It's highly recommended that you land in the western or northwestern part of the map since the medieval biome has several chicken spawns. If you want to finish the challenge as quickly as possible, you can land directly on chickens.

2) Chase a chicken

When you're close to a chicken, it will start running away and periodically drop eggs. You simply need to keep chasing it until it drops a Golden Egg.

As this process may take some time, you should first open a few chests and find weapons to defend yourself against potential enemies. Many other players will try to complete this Spring Breakout challenge as soon as possible, which is why locations with plenty of chicken spawns will be quite popular.

Once a chicken drops a Golden Egg, you simply need to collect it by pressing the action button. When you do so, the Spring Breakout quest will be considered complete and you'll receive 20,000 XP as a reward. Interestingly, the Golden Egg isn't a consumable item, but provides you with gold bars instead.
