I have a 3 year old female Aylesbury duck, in the last month her belly toward her bottom has expanded like a balloon, is that normal because her sister isn't like that, i know Aylesburys have low bottoms but this feels very unusual
 
Here are the pictures

How does it feel, and how often are you cleaning their bedding, it looks really soiled.
Very often, she feels ok, she has a lump in her belly so I'm hoping its just her eggs coming out and if thats normal for Aylesbury ducks, she looks soiled because she got wet from her drinking water and draggs her bottom
 
It looks like abdominal fat, which is common with heavyweight breeds, unless she starts acting off at all, I wouldn't be concerned.

How often do you clean the bedding in their coop? The floor looks very dirty.

I just cleaned it, every 2 weeks. Should I put her on a special diet
