I'm using the biomeLoad event to spawn my duck entity in, but when returning to a biome or standing still in it, the ducks will keep on spawning at the same location on my modded server.

How do I prevent this?

I only want them to spawn once, at the same rate as chickens, near beaches or rivers.

Locally that seems to have fixed it, but on my modded server they are still spawning A LOT.

I tried to reproduce your problem, but i can't. The ducks are very rare in Beach and River Biomes and when they spawn there are 2-5 Ducks
the code works how it should

It works in singleplayer yes, but not on a server. That's when they keep spawning over and over.

for me it works on server and on client, again the code works how it should
with this code:

Spoiler

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onBiomeLoad(final BiomeLoadingEvent event){
        if (event.getName() == null){
            return;
        }

        if (Config.duckSpawning.get()) {
            MobSpawnInfoBuilder spawns = event.getSpawns();

            if (event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.BEACH) || event.getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.RIVER)) {
                spawns.addSpawn(EntityClassification.WATER_CREATURE, new MobSpawnInfo.Spawners(EntityTypeInit.DUCK.get(), 5, 2, 5));
            }
        }
    }
