It was an egg inside an egg and both eggs were double yolk. When I broke open the first egg I broke the yolks some but you can see the two yolks.

Here are all four yolks with the two smaller yolks from the inside egg.
 
Glad to know they will get bigger. I have 4 hens, my barred rock and black sex Linc have laid large to jumbo from the start. My ameracauna and Brahma lay small eggs. The 1st 2 have been laying about a year now and the younger two about 6 months.

One of my bantams all of a sudden laid an enormous egg!! They are a lucky set 5 laying hens out of a straight run of 6! They all lay every day so far!!

That can happen. Here is an egg one of my Large Fowl females (not sure if it was a pullet or a hen) layed next to a regular large egg..
 
Most of my girls start out laying little eggs and size up to larger eggs within a few weeks, but I've got one poor 6 month old rescue golden comet girl who lays a double yoker a day... it's not often people wish they're eggs will get smaller as they age, but she's definitely one I'm hoping will start laying littler eggs! 20200626_212520.jpg
