Probably blackhead... not too many diseases that produce yellow droppings.

Try doing a search for histomoniasis, that's a good place to start.

I figured it was blackhead because of the way they died and also because I had unknowingly put them in the pen with my chickens. Stupid move, yes I know that now. I feel horrible that this happened but I am concerned about the chickens eggs.

The eggs are fine.
