Huge egg

[Nichole1]

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share this! This morning I went to do my normal rounds and found a HUGE egg in my box! Now, the pullet that laid this has only been laying for about 2 weeks now and I was surprised to see it. Turns out its a double yolk! I'm new to chicken keeping and this was very exciting for me lol. Does this happen often? Or was it just a "good day"for my hen? Photos are of her egg from yesterday compared to today. And the double yolk inside!

It happens once in awhile and every time it is very exciting!
I've even had a triple yokers (OUCH!!)

What kind of chicken is it? You might get them often, I have 3 issa browns and they lay double yolks often I get at least one a week.

I just read the other day that is like 1 in 25 million chance!! wow

Ive had double yolks a few times in the past. This year with my new pullets, I got one last week from one who just started laying. it wasn't a big egg, just a bit oblong.
