Were they laying previous to the last 2 weeks?
How long have you had them?

They were laying one egg some days or some days none

...and how long have you had these birds?
If you want help solving this mystery/problem, you really neeed to provide more info.
Oh and, how many chickens?

I have had the birds for a year and there are about twenty five hens one Rooster 2 ducks Ducks

The two new ducks, are they in the same coop and run with the hens?
If so, they will be seen as intruders and prevent your hens from starting to lay for quite some time (a few more weeks).

Are your ducks both females?

The ducks and chicken are friends they play Together and both the ducks are females

So you got them as day old chicks?
....and you've never got more than 1 or 2 eggs a day?

Do you use supplemental lighting?
What all and how exactly are you feeding them?

 

[NatJ]

Egg production is directly regulated by the amount of daylight they get. You can't feed them anything to increase production no matter what anyone may say

Almost true, but I think not quite.

If they have an actual deficiency of some sort, that can stop them laying. Feeding the right food to fix the deficiency can let them start laying again.

Deficiencies that make them stop laying will probably be pretty obvious things: not enough food, not enough protein, something like that. A lack of calcium might do that as well.

If they have as much food as they want to eat, of any feed labeled as a "complete feed" for any age or category of chickens, then they probably do not have any deficiency that would make them stop laying.

Check the label on your feed bag for milling date and percentage of protein and possible mould (strange smell?)
Where exactly are you storing the feed and how much do your chickens and ducks eat every day?

They need about 110-130 grams of feed per bird per day depending on breed, age and body weight.

The chickens are probably eating some of them.A deficiency causes them to start eating them (or simply leaving them in the nest too long )
