Karen, you didn`t mention the age of your birds or their diet. Those enter into the equasion, sometimes. Pasty butt is a malady that usually affects chicks, but can happen to adults. Believe it or not, Pasty Butt is a symptom of constipation. The cure is molasses in their drinking water. Molasses is a natural laxative for fowl. Mix it like weak tea and give it to them for 2 days. Naturally you should clean their little butts with a warm damp cloth before you start the treatment. Failure to cure this condition could result in a painful death for your chicken. This treatment is for adult birds as well as chicks.
You have to be the judge as to the problem, so here is a link to the "Chicken Keepers Poo Chart". Hope all this helps......P
