15.
7.5+.5 (leaves 7)
3.5+.5 (leaves 3)
1.5+.5 (leaves 1)
1

its impossible to tell cuz u dont know how much he started with

You still believ in the Easter Bunny :)

doesnt make sense cos that means he had so many and a half egg the halfs make 1 and a half

He started with 15. That's gonna take a while to solve.
If I'm correct that would mean the first person really received all whole eggs. Makes sense to me.

the bunny started with 15 eggs.

Well although 15 seems to be a logical answer but you mentioned he didn't break any egg then how could he give 'half an egg'?
Is it really a maths question or a trick question?
And I dunno why one expect a 5th grader here when no one below 13 is allowed here.
Cheers.
