Poop on eggs - worms?

[Sycamore Hill Chicks]

It sounds like you watched that YouTube video.... NO, poop on eggs did not mean worms. It means that the eggs and poop come out of the same area and sometimes poop gets on an egg. Simple as that. That only way to tell if your chickens have worms is to do a fecal float test.

Ok thanks for clarifying!

Also, when I say poop, I mean just a little bit that’s is either stuck to the egg or seems to have been pooped just while she was in there.

Thanks for that info.. is a fecal float test something you can do at home? I don't think I have a problem but I don't know how I'd know if I did... any symptoms to look for? Thanks in advance if you can help!
