Does my chicken have worms?

[Holy City Hens]

I have three black sex links. Two of the girls began laying in mid-September but one (Marianne) has never laid. I have noticed that her legs are more yellow than the other hens. Also, her poops seem much smaller and her comb and face are a little more pale in color. I called my local feed store and they said she might have worms. My questions are... does that sound like worms to all of you and if so, should I be concerned that all of my girls have worms and that in eating the eggs I HAVE been getting that my Beaux and I might have worms from those eggs (YUCK!!!) Please advise and thanks in advance

She may or may not have worms. It may or may not be the cause of her difficulties. Chickens have to have a very severe case of worms to pass them through the eggs. I doubt that is the case.

Thanks Horsejody! I am worming them just to be safe and hope my sweet Marianne will be laying soon.
