Pekin Duck not/maybe egg laying ?

[dehowery]

I have a Pekin duck that is an Easter baby so she should be laying. However I do not see any eggs in the coop. Now I understand they don't lay in the coop but while there out running free. I have almost an acre for the duck & 6 chickens to roam. I have not found anything that looks like a ducks nest. But then again I have 2 sheds they all go under during the heat of the day (which I cannot see under) and multiply plantings that are bushy and I really don't want to get under them (ticks, fleas,spiders, snakes, etc). My question is... IS there any way to train my duck "affie" to lay in a particular spot. We had a drake but he got killed by a predator (hole in the fence we didn't know about)..

Do they sleep in a coop? If so, ducks usually lay earlier in day so if you wait til 10 or 10:30a.m. to let them out for day they will lay inside coop.
