How do I stop my duck being broody?

The only advice I can give to fully break her is to put her in a wire cage with no bedding. This should work after a couple of days. If you don't have that then put her in a pen with no bedding or any kind of nest box this should break her as well.

I'll try to do this it's just I don't have a wire cage and I recently changed the straw so I don't want to remove it!
 
Id put her inside for a while like fix a place for her in the bathroom or something for like a day, better yet keep her away from the place that she is going broody at put her back in the middle of the flock away from all eggs. or any mothering thing put her in the water if you have a pond make her stay down at the pond make her socialize that can bring a broody duck back to normal
 
I've been taking her out and bathing her but she will just go back to the pen! I think I may have to take her inside to the bathroom like you said! But I noticed that in the mornings she comes outside for a minute or so but won't eat because the food is at the other side of the pen so maybe if I put the food closer to her pen she might eat!

yeah I would def move her food and water closer to the pen. Or even offer her food in the pen with water close by even if you don't want her to be broody. When my 2 ducks were broody their food and water was very closely accessible

That's good. I would still put food and water near her if you think she might not be going to the other end of the pen to get some.
