Do you think she has water belly? Respiratory problems?

My chicken Gail has had a more rounded butt for her laying months. She is a 1yo barred rock who is quite large and is the head hen of my younger coop(3 barred rocks and 3 ISA Browns). She is a big bully so she does have pinless peepers on. But her butt isn’t flat like the other hens and it’s bald like 1 other hen. I think they are bald still from their bullying days and waiting to molt. Gail also sometimes lays weird eggs sometimes where the eggs are too close to each other in side her. The tip of her comb is also purple at some points(1 of my isas also has this problem). I’m attaching pics of her below. I just don’t know IF anything is wrong with her but I’m asking here because people around here know about chickens lol.

Also the bullying happened like 2-3 months ago and we’ve since added more protein to their diets, given them more space, and give them more things to peck at(pumpkins, cabbage, carrot tops, etc.)
