Twins and Triplets can happen. But the chance for survival of all fawns is minimal. Even just a single fawn has only a 1 in 2 chance of surviving.
Most does typically give birth to twins but rarely a doe will have triplets.
Yearling does usually give birth to single fawns. Mature does in good physical condition frequently produce twins.

Reproduction: The mating or rutting season starts in late October and extends through early January. In Connecticut, the peak of the rutting season is the last two weeks in November. Fawns, weighing from four to eight pounds, are usually born in June. They remain under the female’s care through September, when they are weaned. The number of young born ranges from one to four, depending upon the age and condition of the doe. In Connecticut, twins are common and triplets and quadruplets have been recorded. Female fawns born early in spring have the potential to breed by the following fall.
Reproductive season varies: first 2 weeks in November in north, January or February in south. 1–3 young born after gestation of about 6 1/2 months.

Young does have 1 (usually another doe) mature does usually have 2 (usually a buck and a doe). Although a doe can have 3 or 4, but not to often.

The most I’ve heard of is 3 at a time.
