Has anyone experienced this phenomenon ???

No. Two eggs a day is unusual. Three unheard of.

Since you have video evidence, I would urge you to take this seriously as a health issue. When a hen's body needs to create a shell for more than one egg, she is drawing down her blood calcium to do so. This sets her up for sudden death syndrome caused by heart attack from not enough calcium to keep the heart beating.

If that doesn't happen, she is surely headed for egg binding when one of these multiple eggs eventually gets stuck. This is also life threatening.

There is help for this condition. Get some calcium citrate from the vitamin aisle in the pharmacy. Get what I attached below. Pry open the hen's beak and slip the whole capsule in. It will slide down her esophagus into her crop. She won't choke. Give one of these each day for about one week or until she is down to laying one egg per day. If the eggs begin to have calcium deposits on the shells, that means her body has plenty of calcium and you can stop giving it to her.

Be sure she has access to oyster shell as this maintains blood calcium.
