Horray!
Twins.
This happens sometimes but only with jumbo eggs. I betchya jumbo eggs come from jumbo chickens, or maybe older than regular chickens. Frankly, I don't know anything about chickens but they fascinate me.
Can you imagine having a jumbo chicken that pooped out, say, nine eggs and was sitting on them in her nest incubating them, then one fine morning ten little chicks appeared running all around? It'd be like defying the laws of mathematics.
Double yolk eggs counter the reasoning behind the adage, "Don't count yer chickens before they hatch," because you might end up with more than you figured. So next time somebody says that adage, and come to think of it they almost never do say it, then you can go, "Yeah, some of those eggs could be double-yolk and make twins!" Which would prove you're an incorrigible optimist doomed to disappointment.
