Faith laid around 40 eggs and went broody over a month ago. I put food in a bowl by her and change her water daily. She barely comes out for an hour. I’ve changed her bedding and her coop, but she’s still broody.
She’s not sitting on anything, however I had placed a solar light, smaller than an bowling ball that has small lights so she would see a mimicking of soft starlight. She moves it around the cage and sometimes puts it under her wing.
She bites me when I stick my hand in the coop.

What should I do?
Please help!
 
I would find someone in your area who hatches duck eggs and get some ducklings. Graft them too her late at night by tucking them under her belly. This way she can raise her future flockmates.
 
I tried that, a neighbor found an injured baby and I put it in with her but rather than take to it she was more like pecking so I pulled her out and returned the baby. And made the baby a splint.
