Eggs with a double yolk are not that uncommon. A double yolk results from two ovum dropping from a ruptured follicle. In some cases, two follicles rupture at the same time and a double yolked egg is produced. Some hens do this on a consistent basis and are often bred for this genetic trait. Double yolk eggs can be purchased in many major supermarkets. The Guinness Book of World Records reports a 9 yolk egg was once found. Here on my farm I have had eggs with 4 yolks.
