double yolks

[tarrbaby]

I have two young red star hens in my small flock, they started laying in late Sept. Since then one of them is laying a beautiful very large double yolk egg about once every three weeks is this just an anomaly of nature or is this a trait i could breed for?

It is normal for new layers to do this. They are still getting things going in their bodies. Mine have been laying since Aug and I just stopped getting doubles in the last few weeks.
