Double Yolked egg with another entire egg inside...

[grnidone]

Here is the video. I've seen many a double yolked egg (even a triple), but never 2 yolks with an entire egg along with it.

What causes this?

My first guess is your hen is a sex link of some sort? That happens when too many ovum get released and eggs are bumping into each other. I assume one egg was in the shell gland, the one inside, when the next partially made egg came into the shell gland causing them to merge. Your hen must be sore. You are lucky she didn't prolapse. That was a big um.

That's a Glitch with a Capital G all right

I agree, it's probably a high production bred bird. It's pretty unusual to have that extreme, but it does happen. Her body is just trying to figure out how to keep up and regulate things. Probably a new layer......I'm not aware of anything you can do to correct it. It's usually just a "work itself out" kind of thing. Make sure she's got good nutrition, lots of water, and maybe do some research on being egg bound or egg yolk peritonitis just in case things go south with her.
