What's with all these double yolk eggs?

[Chickybaby]

I've heard that it happens from time to time, but it seems my girls are the queens of the double yolk eggs! The are Lt Brahmas and started laying the end of August. They are just now starting to get reliable. With 4 pullets laying we are getting 3-4 eggs a day. We seem to have an abundance of double yolkers lately. Yesterday we cracked 6 eggs, 4 of which had double yolks. One of those was a normal size egg, the others slightly larger but not much. We got an egg yesterday that won't even fit in a carton, it is HUGE. I'll take a picture before we crack it, just in case. Is it possible to have a triple yolk egg - or more? If so, I'm guessing this will be it!

Anyone know why we have so many of these eggs? Not complaining, just wondering... Thanks!

thats pretty normal for young layers takes awhile to get all the kinks out

my ducks have been laying them regular and my chickens just started laying them.

Double yolkers are cool.. at least from my end.. not sure about the pullet's end!

We have one BR that lays 2 double yolkers a week. Congrats on the multiple double yolker layers and keep feeding them what you're feeding them!!!

Must be some happy chickens! You're doing something very right.

My white leghorns lay lots of double yolkers. Double yolkers are my favorite for fried eggs.
