The reason for that is because the egg of a bird is mainly made up of yolk. Yolk is what feeds and provides the still developing chick with food and other nutrients essential for survival until they hatch, therefore, since most of the egg is yolk, then the chicks that hatch are of reasonably small size compared to the egg they hatched from.
