ASCITES???

Hello I have a year old female pekin and I noticed her bottom feels extremely big and heavy, it’s squishy and I don’t feel anything hard inside. I found an egg this morning that had yellow stuff on it. She started acting funny a few days ago and refuses to walk up the ramp to go in at night. I feed her Mazuri waterfowl feed and Lettuce, tomatoes, peas, green beans etc. for the winter we have been using a thick bedding of chopped straw and I clean it daily. I brought her in tonight to let her soak in the sink and that’s when I realized she is missing a lot of her feathers on her hiney. It looks very sore and she actually has a small open sore. She is eating and drinking and seems to be pooping fine but I did notice it was extremely green tonight. I assumed it was green because I had given her peas earlier. Something just doesn’t seem right. Any thoughts would be appreciated
We don’t have a vet nearby that treats ducks. I’m worried she’s in pain.
I’m going to post pictures below...

It sounds like an infection to me I'm so sorry

Thank you for the response. Is there an antibiotic I can get from tractor supply just in case?

Mine had bloody poo so I used Corid but for infections you can use I read that ducks can get that if they are something bad or toxic. You can try giving her some activated charcoal she does she have any blood in her nostrils because if she does she might have duck plague wich sounds strange but it's real I've heard they can get yellow diarrhea and bloody nostrils this might have happened I'm not sure but if her egg laying has slowed down she might be egg bound and is only able to lay a few eggs. I was reading more about duck plague and there is not really a treatment and it spreads. She might also have a bacterial infection give her some time and put some apple sider vinegar in her water and she will hopefully heal soon if she has foamy eyes you should clean them out twice a day with saline soulition other then that I'm sorry and I hope she gets better soon.
