@sdaikus - I'm hoping for the best. How did this turn out?

I just spent about 20 minutes in my tub (gross) cleaning my 6-year old Buff Orp's backside. Hardened poo. Prior to cleaning, I observed an add posture, almost like she was constipated. I picked her up and noticed the crud. Cleaned her up and blew dry her behind. She's as good as new. First time occurrence.Adults do not get actual pasty butt. If they do, something is terribly, terribly wrong. Pasty butt is where the vent is actually blocked with poop so no more poop can come out. What you're talking about is probably just poop sticking in the butt fluff. Some of my hens have what I call "velcro fluff" and are prone to it, some are not. Seems the larger breeder type Orps are more prone, my RIR is prone and a couple of the BRs. Why some have the issue and some don't is a mystery to me.
What is the organic food pleaseMy sweet little trio of bantam auracana always had problems with pasty butt. I tried everything including molassas.
When I switched to a good organic food the problem went away forever and they all look beautiful!
