Default Doe with 3 fawns

Anyone ever see a Doe with 3 fawns ?
My cousin saw a Doe with 3 fawns while driving today.
Isn' t this kind of rare ?
Heard they usually have two at the most.

Yup,
Seen it. Matter of fact, seen the same doe with her three fawns several times. Your also correct in that it is somewhat unusual.

I' ve seen it a couple times. The most notable was 2 years ago I saw a doe, with a gimp leg and her 3 fawns were all bb' s. Watched her all summer that year.

Given the right nutrition, does are very capable of producing triplets; however, they will usually produce twins in a well-balanced environment that is near the carrying capacity of the area.
