My duck is...leaking?

[BigBlock]

I have a female duck that is about 10 months old. Not sure what kind she is, some kind of mix. For the last few weeks every time I pick her up something starts dripping from her vent. Looks almost like poop...but not quite. She's always been pretty good about being held, very calm. Why is this happening? I haven't seen it happen without picking her up first. I guess it's more of a problem for me than her....

Has she started to lay yet? maybe having egg laying problems or she may just be going into her breeding mode and sometimes they will leak stuff because of that, what color is the leaky stuff? when was the last timne she laid an egg? Or it maybe just something that goes on because of stress of being picked up.
