HI, I have 4 reds and 2 rouen ducks. They are all together in a large coop and have been fine since they were small. Now they are about 6 months. Chickens were all laying started about a month ago. I would get 1-3 eggs per day. About 2 weeks ago 1 of the ducks who is female started laying where the chickens lay and now all the chickens stopped laying. What do I do?
 
They most likely have a little nest somewhere else, since they don't like that duck. I would check everywhere in their coop, run, and it might be hard to find if they free range. If that's not the case, are any of your chickens molting? That causes them to stop laying for a while.

HI I havent seen eggs anywhere around the coop and they arent molting. Also do not let them free range anymore since they almost went into the road.
 
Does the duck chase the hens or be mean to them a lot? Do you have a lot of roosters? Anything stressing like that might cause them to stop. I'm sorry I can't tell you what's wrong, if it's not any of these things, I have no idea what's going on.
 
No they’re not mean and I don’t have any roosters I think maybe that there’s a change by the duck now laying in their box they might be stressed I hope they go back to laying soon ducks eggs taste great but only lays 1 per day
