Cuckoo Maran Eggs question..

[ORCHKNlady]

Ok so my I have two cuckoo maran hens and as I cracked into my first egg I saw that it was twins, I figured the next one would be regular and wanted to see so asked if my husband wanted an egg and he said yes and I cracked that Maran egg and it was a twin too, the kids were so excited and I had two more Maran eggs to crack and so they asked if they could have one and so I cracked those two and THOSE were twins. Is it possible to have a hen that only lays twin eggs? Seems that both of them do. This is so cool. I am just curious if this will continue or if anyone else has had anything like this?

its not normal for a hen to lay double yolked eggs, but it happens,

here is a video of a pair of twins hatching

Are they new layers? Sometimes new layers will have double yolkers until they get egg production down. Enjoy it while it lasts
