"Hunt" implies that you're looking for something that's been hidden. If you're just picking them up off the ground, you're collecting, not hunting.

Is the person finding these really "hunting"?

Yes. End of thread.
Toddlers have it too easy these days.
The Easter bunny that visits my house hides them. It takes my daughter a while to find all of them. Some of the eggs are gimmes to build confidence. But the good stuff (like money) is hidden very good and takes a little brain power.
It wss a lot harder to find the eggs in my day. In the snow...at the top of the hill...
I grew up with a state park basically in my back yard. One easter my mom and dad made a real easter egg hunt for my brother and I. We had to use clues to hunt around the park to find our eggs. Since it was only about 35 degrees, we didn't have to worry about anybody else being around.
That was a real easter egg hunt!!
It's not a "hunt" even if you hide them, just a "search." A hunt implies a living target, usually one that can evade you. The few eggs that are even alive are helpless when found and unable to evade.
It would be more of a hunt if you painted grown chickens instead.
My friends' yard backs onto a very steep hill, about 70% steepness that is overgrown with thick brush taller than the adults. They launched 250 eggs off the porch into the brush. The adults had a good 45 minutes to visit with each other before the kids emerged bloodied and triumphant.
