When platypuses first hatch they are indeed about the size of a bean.

People don't really eat platypus eggs- so maybe chickens eggs have more nutrition? Also platypus eggs are only about the size of a grape so a chicken egg would probably have more nutrition because it is larger.
No. When a baby platypus hatches, it is the size of a bean, blind and completely helpless.
A platypus's egg is off-white to pale creamy beige in colour. It is about the size of a grape.
No. A platypus cannot kill a bear. Not only would it not have the claws, teeth or size to kill a bear, but there are no bears in Australia.
Platypus eggs are just a couple of centimetres in size - about the size of a grape. They average 11 mm in diameter. They are small, smooth and leathery, unlike birds' eggs, which are hard-shelled. They weigh just a few grams.
A female platypus averages 40-50 cm in length. They are very lightly built creatures, and weigh as little as 900 grams.
The platypus does not experience metamorphosis. It is not an amphibian. When first born, the platypus is about the size of a bean and barely resembles its parent. However, like all young of mammals, it gradually develops the features of its parent as it grows. This is not metamorphosis - it is growth.
Platypuses are fairly constant in their size. A male platypus is larger than a female, being 50-60 cm in length, and weighs around 2kg.
