Hello, I have 2 8 month old hens and up to now they have been healthy. 1 of my hens recently has been getting poop stuck to her butt/feathers and I have to bathe her almost daily. I don't think it's a disease because my other hen is completely normal. I've seen her poop very watery sometimes and other times completely normal. Again my other doesn't have this issue and they have access to the same food (scratch and peck laying mash) and fresh water with occasional treats such as spinach, cilantro, broccoli, watermelon etc. Please help, should I take her to vet? Is there something I can give her to make her poop more normal?
 
Do you have pictures? You shouldn’t be needing to clean a chicken’s butt that often. I would cut out all treats for awhile and see if that helps.
