Help sick duck

[KaleIAm]

We got up this morning and checked on one of our ducks and found that she was very lethargic and acting entirely abnormal to her usual behaviour. she isn't standing and just sitting down. She isn't eating, although has tried a little bit, has drunken water but then proceeded to vomit. Any idea what could be wrong

Can you take her to a vet?

her diet is made up of duck and chicken pellets, fruit and vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, a little bit of bread and on the occasion she eats chips, and also drinks a lot of water

we currently are unable to take her to the vet as we currently can't afford to, the only one open at the time and closest only specialises in cats and dogs and is very expensive and the only other one which she has been to in the past isn't open until late tonight

we've checked over her feet, wings etc. and there are no apparent injuries. she has been to a vet when she was very young and they discovered that she was egg bound - her first egg which was very soft - but since then has been occasionally laying with no problems and with normal eggs

Has she been pooping? Any changing in the look/consistency of the poop? Especially any blood?

there is poop in her bed which was freshly made for her after her bath yesterday. a lot of it is watery, however for her that is usually normal after a bath or when she drinks a lot of water. there is no blood in it, but since we got up around an hour or so ago she hasn't been pooping and is also running a slight temperature.

I understand. I'm sorry your duck isn't well.

Is it chicken pellets or specifically duck pellets?

Could she have eaten anything toxic since yesterday? is she able to hold her head up?

I've just checked and it says free range poultry pellets
