The Great Egg Hunt

Stop camping, running around will score you many more eggs. I acquired everything I needed in 4 hours running around the outer edge of Azuremyst. It also helps if you do it while people are in school.

The Brightly Colored Shell Fragments are an extra quest item that drops from the eggs you open; you still get the contents of the egg. The Brightly Colored Shell Fragments no longer display in your inventory and no longer take up a bag slot. So if you are gathering eggs anyway, this daily quest is a painless bit of extra rewards.

Where to farm? That is the question! Zones are mostly empty on the (Wrath) Classic servers and quite busy at Razor Hill and Goldshire on Retail. Each zone has its advantages and disadvantages for egg farming:

Horde:

• 
  
• Brill: Retail: Great variety of locations, most easy to find. A great place to farm. Wrath: Compact but the shrubbery is very heavily textured, making the eggs rather difficult to see as almost all the eggs are concealed in the bushes.
• 
  
• Razor Hill: Eggs are easy to see but you have a lot of running to do.
• 
  
• Bloodhoof Village: Some very devious / clever hiding of the eggs and a huge area to run around.
• 
  
• Falconwing Square: Compact and although attempts were made to hide the eggs, pnce you get a roll on you will zip through easily. Best for Horde!
• 
  

Alliance:

• 
  
• Goldshire: Retail: Everyone comes here so respawns happen fast! No optimal route though. Classic: Eggs seem few and far between here.
• 
  
• Kharanos: Easy to see the eggs and your route will be a simple oval. A great location for Alliance, especially Classic!
• 
  
• Dolanaar: Eggs are mostly hidden in dense shrubs and there is a huge running area. Avoid!
• 
  
• Azure Watch: Compact, eggs are well hidden and there is no real optimal route.
• 
  

Ideally you want a few other players with you as the respawns will come thick and fast and this situation is where Falconwing Square really shines. To see accurate maps (there aren't any here on Wowhead and indeed it is just not possible due to the imprecision of coordinates) I strongly suggest this AddOn by yours truly. It has almost every spawn point in every Classic and Retail zone too! Alliance? Toss-up between Goldshire and Kharanos with Goldshire shading it as its more social/fun.

(Please don't be nasty and downvote me. I am merely being helpful and the AddOn, like all my event and farming AddOns, is truly helpful too!)
