ThomasdeGlynt-
That's a lot of deadlifting, especially if you're hitting appreciably heavy weights! Are you sure its not just the fact you're battering your hamstrings and not letting them recover properly causing the soreness rather than the more classic DOMs you'd expect to get after a single session overreaching?
Other things I'd check - how's sleep/calories/protein intake?
-
That's too much. Deadlift is a really good lift, but once you get strong in it, it will start eating in your recovery badly.
Squat once a week, deadlift once a week, squat/deadlift variations (hack squat, front squat, change deadlift stance, go a bit higher reps) is plenty.

Possibly too obvious a question but are you stretching properly?
Since I started deadlifts in the summer, I’ve had to be much stricter about stretching properly before and afterwards and in general every day.
It could also be a case of cyclist legs... or the two things working against each other or something. Your hams are probably going through massive adaptation but eventually they shouldn’t hurt for days afterwards and you should be more flexible... Seems to take a while to get there, though.
How often are you deadlifting?
