Whenever my Easter Egger had poop stuck on her butt feathers I would give her a bathe but you could trim her butt feathers as flockwatcher suggested after washing.

Now my other hen just pooped a really watery poop in front of me. I gave her some ypgurt earlier. Maybe it "flushed" her system?
ETA: I looked at the poop chart and all their poop is under the normal category. So we're okay. But it's still bothering me that her bum feathers are getting this way.

Update: I've been giving ACV for the last week with no results. Her poop is still really big and wet and stinky with some undigested food in it. She drinks a lot and eats normally. She sneezes after she drinks, but just then. Nothing really that I noticed to be concerned about. Except for that poop. Ugh. That poop.

Update: She has worms. A very mild case, but she pooped in front of me the other day, I squatted down and studied it, and saw a tiny worm poke it's head out. A young roundworm. Started Wazine today. Hopefully she'll be back to normal soon, and glad I found out what it is!
Large roundworms when excreted are 3" to 6" long...no smaller, no longer. Cecal worms are 1/4" to 1/2" long and are classified as roundworms. Wazine will not get kill or paralyze cecal worms, only large roundworms. I recommend that you purchase valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or safeguard liquid goat wormer and dose all your birds. Dosage for either wormer for standard size birds is 1/2cc orally undiluted, for smaller birds...1/4cc orally undiluted. Repeat dosing in 10 days. There's a 14 day withdrawal period after the last dosing.

I'll see if the problem persists. I only saw a worm once, so I can't really identify what kind they are. I PM'd you.
X2 on deworming her with Valbazen. If your going to give a dewormer it might as well be one that is effective and will get rid of any and all worms. Worms do a lot of damage and will bring a bird down until it just dies. Not worth it to wait around in my opinion.
