Yup, nothing helps the smell nor consistency of the cecal, not ever fermenting their feed 
However I still prefer FF

Also, part of the dreadful nature of cecal poop is it has a peculiarly strong attraction to chicken feet. Right before the polluted chicken begs to be held and cuddled in your lap.
Haha.....I know, right!?
Or right before they go in nest to lay!
They drop it then turn around and walk right thru it!
Oh so very true
I've seen them walk past it & around it but when I go to pick it up, they step in it

Is there any treatment for the cecals?
Cecal poops are natural, they are released daily.
They come from the cecum, a 'blind' section of the intestine.
There is no need to treat for them.
ETA: Here's a pretty good explanation of how the ceca function.

I think we all would choose the option of "no cecals" if there were such a button on a chicken!
...and I just roused the broody for a stroll, boy was she backed up!!
Broodies seem to be able to greatly magnify the cecal effect. The EPA might even be inclined to ban them or order an air pollution filter.
Thank goodness I have a separate run off the broody partition,
and she that went outside before dropping those bombs!
