A trawl around the internet revealed the following:
DBP (duck-billed platypus) eggs are titchy, like about half an inch in size, which means breaking an awful lot of eggs before you get anything like a decent size omelette (unless you are making it for, say, ants). They are also soft, which negates the whole 'crack open' theory; whichleads one to conclude that, in all likelihood, you are going to be forever tweezering out bits of DBP eggshell, in your attempt to reach the innards of the forty or so eggs you need to make your forkful of omelette. And they taste awful. And they are a protected species.
Other than that, sure, one could theoretically make a duck-billed platypus omelette - mind you, CakeOrDeath, I do sometimes wonder about your gourmand adventures ;). If you ever try it one of these days, please let us know how it tastes :)!
A further trawl around the internet has revealed that platypi have a poisonous claw which, if they attack you with it, leaves a wound that takes practically for ever to heal. So, in conclusion, the platypus omelette adventure would probably not really be worth the pain, suffering, tweezers, awful taste and environmental guilt.

I really have no idea, but I suppose so.

im not sure if platypuses (platypus? platypi?) are furry, but they look it, so thats what im sticking with.
Fluffy omelettes is much easier!
