I have a yellow center and no legs, but if an Easter chick tells me a funny prank, what do I become?
A practical yolk
The yellow center of an egg is called a 'yolk,' which is pronounced exactly like the word 'joke.' A 'practical joke' is a trick or prank played on someone for fun. By substituting 'joke' with 'yolk,' the riddle creates an Easter-themed play on words based on sound-alike vocabulary.
