Can a 6-month old hen (Black Australorp) lay more than one egg in a day?
I'm trying to figure out who's doing what in my coop...

How frequently do you believe this may be happening in your flock? What is leading you to believe one of your birds is laying multiple eggs per day?
Welcome to BYC!
If you've got a group of pullets just coming into lay you can examine there vent's and pelvic points,
it's pretty accurate way to tell who is laying and who is not.
It does take some practice, but easy after that.
Quote: I examine my birds off the roost at night, well after dark...they are easy to 'catch' when they are asleep the roost...haha.
I wear a head light so i can point the light away from their escape route and I have a chair to sit on to put the bird in my lap if I need to.
If your getting 3 eggs and have 4 Pullets...? What is the problem? As you said one is not laying yet?
