1. They may not have started to lay yet. Most breeds start at around 20 weeks
2. Their bedding is dirty, they may not have enough food or water or they may have been spooked by something like a fox
3. Many ducks don't lay when it is too hot or too cold for them.

No. Ducks are birds and the Platypus is a monotreme which is an egg-laying mammal.
ducks and chickens should not be put togather. ducks and geese are able to be together though.
Ducks may suddenly stop laying eggs due to various reasons such as stress, improper nutrition, changes in environment, or old age. Providing a balanced diet, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free environment, and monitoring their health can help encourage egg-laying.
It can be the wrong season for the duck to lay eggs. Fall and Spring are the best time for laying. Sometimes they will totally stop laying during winter and summer.
Mine started laying when they were a few months old.
i have ducks around that age and they lay eggs in February
Yes, they will. They might be too young and will start laying in the next month or so, however, that depends on what breed(s) they are.
There could be several reasons why your ducks aren't laying eggs yet. They might be too young, stressed, lacking the right nutrition, or not getting enough daylight. Make sure they have a comfortable and secure environment, a balanced diet with adequate calcium, and exposure to at least 14 hours of daylight to encourage egg production. If they are still not laying after making these adjustments, consult a veterinarian for further advice.
Because inside the duck the fat doesn't help release the eggs from the body...
No. The only similarity is that they are both animals. Platypuses are mammals: they are monotremes, meaning they are egg-laying mammals. Ducks are birds.
