Anyone know anything about ducks?

We bought 3 female khaki Campbell ducks 3 weeks ago and at first they were laying every second day but for the last week-nothing! They are in a large enclosure and we have searched all over it in case they found a sneaky hiding spot but no sign :-/ .We haven't changed anything that would stress them ,fed twice a day and they get lots of fresh veg also . They have a pond and also a little house (which they rarely go into even when weather is very bad ).Can't figure out what's happened any tips advice etc very much appreciated

This happens when they go into a new environment. The eggs that were in their system come out and the stress of moving will stop the egg peoduction for a while. I’m sure they’ll lay again soon.

Thank you so much for replying- they are laying! Well two were for the last few days and now since yesterday the three are laying beautiful eggs every day Smile
