Two out of eight hens poop reeks

[Kyng]

Weird situation here.
I purchased two four/five month old baladi chickens six months ago.
They were kept in strange living conditions, cages above the floor, bunch of chickens in a small space, but fed regular commercial feed no scraps.
They were skittish when we got them, and still are now. They started laying about a month or two after we got them, all is well in that sense.
They eat the same food now as the rest of my flock, and have regular chicken behavior.
Their poop reeks. Since the day we got them. It’s disgusting.
Just them. Not my others. It’s nauseating.
How is that even possible? They have no worms or any mites that I can see, they are very good layers, and lay 6-7 eggs a week.
They dust bathe, eat, sleep and chat. One has a terrible egg song, but overall regular chickens.
Why oh why does their poop smell so bad?

I'd worm them and if hive them some probiotics to start, if that doesn't help, they may have a bacterial infection

I'm currently dealing with the exact same problem from two of my chickens, way worse than the other 14. Did you ever figure out what caused it?

Nope. They still smell. No worms, no parasites. No mites. Just them.
