It is unlikely that they have roundworms at that age. It takes three weeks for a roundworm to grow from an egg to an adult, although rarely one will get included in the chick's egg by the hen. If what you are seeing is pink and looks worm-like, it is likely shed intestinal lining which is normal, seen more often at this age since their digestive tract is still maturing. If you still think you're seeing worms, then try taking a clear picture of the droppings to post.
