Hen has poop on her butt or butt feathers

[MrFluffyandGirls]

I wiped away some of the poop with wet paper towels to see what I was dealing with before dunking her, don’t need her to be soaked if nothing going on. Guess what I found? NOTHING! That I can tell. I trimmed off the wet and oooooh feathers and will just monitor her for now. I will watch how much water she I takes. Should I be careful with the veggie and fruit scrapes that I’m giving them, since they contain water?

Maybe it was just a poo getting stuck and then the rest building up on it. If everyone else is fine and she's fine now I would just stay on course.

Some chickens are just "blessed" with butts that hold the poop. Feathers that stick out a bit too far. An angle in the hips or back that holds it more horizontal. And once a little bit gets stuck, it creates a net for more. I've got one that has to be washed regularly.
