She's ready, but no eggs yet

Egg laying depends on light levels. I got all of my ducks as adults, but it wasn't until I added about 4 extra hours of light in their hutch that I started getting eggs. I am still not getting eggs from one of the girls. Not sure which one.

Hhhhmmm, I put her giant cage in the back of an alley on the side of my house purposely to help keep them cool in the summer (which is literally hot enough to cook an egg on the concrete in the sun). It stays so cool over there because it's shaded most of the day, and it never seems to get direct sunlight. I let her run around in the backyard during the day though, but if I leave the house I cage all the birds back up (urban setting, neighbors have cats, + lots of birds of prey in the area and I saw one make off with someone's chihuahua once). I really can't move the cage from where it is now, is indirect sunlight enough or do the ducks have to be in the direct sunlight to reap the egg-laying reward?

I just took a rechargeable ryobi 18v flashlight and put that in their hutch at night when I put them to bed. It fades out after about 4 hours. It took a week with that light, but it got them laying.
