Thanks everyone!

So I think she's beyond saving at this point... I've taken her out of the pen and made her a little hay nest a few feet away. Should she be completely out of the room, or do you think out of the pen sufficient quarantine? I'm planning to do a complete clean out of the pen tomorrow and bleach...

I can't afford a vet. I've been googling symptoms, and it sounds like it might be Riemerella anatipestifer: In the acute form, listlessness, eye discharge and diarrhea are commonly seen. Ducks show incoordination, shaking of the head and twisted neck. Birds are commonly found on their backs...
