A friend gave me 3 silkies 2 hens & 1 too. One of the hens have laid four eggs and every egg comes out with poop. I don't think it's normal. What can be causing this and how can I fix it the problem?

Off the top of my head, I know worms can cause this. If they haven't been wormed recently and aren't being fed diatomaceous earth, I would start doing one of those two things. I prefer food-grade diatomaceous earth over dewormer because it's relatively inexpensive and I can keep it in the feed every day as a preventive measure. I put it in the food for internal parasites, sprinkle it on the bedding and in the dust bath for external parasites, and use it to dust the roost and run if I notice a lot of flies (it kills fly larvae). If you want to use dewormer, there are a lot of options to choose from. This site shows the different worms and the best wormers to use for each kind: https://the-chicken-chick.com/control-treatment-of-worms-in-chickens/

Hope this helps!
