They had recently taken a bath but I wasn’t ably to get a video of her preeing herself, she still struggles to preen her left side, but she is able to move it a little better (using better in the lightest terms possible). She has been able to preen her right side, but it still seems a lot slower than before. She doesn’t seem to be in pain, and she seems to be keeping her head up a lot more than yesterday. My other one seems a lot better as well, he had diarrhea but his poops seems more like they were beforehand. Would it still be advisable to add gatorade to their water, as they both share food and water?Sorry, you have not received a reply.
How are your ducks doing?
Could you post a video of the ducks?
If in the unfortunate case they are still acting poorly, can I suggest you move them somewhere warm in close proximity to feed/water, and where you can mointor them better?
Has there been a change at all in their appetite?
If you're noticing a decrease in their eating I suggest, weighing both on a scale so you can determine if there is active weight loss occurring. If they are willing to drink, I would try offering some warm electrolyte fluids such as Gatorade, or Pedialyte.
If you have a humidifier inside, you can also try setting them on near their pen, and that should help loosen some of the mucous you're noticing. The mucous could be due to several things (exp, crop stasis, slugs, bacterial infection). Additional information may help which might be the problem.

They haven’t been eating as much, especially Sunny, as she cannot extend her neck downwards, when she does a full stretch she is able to, but not when she eats or drinksHow much are they eating, and drinking?
