I think they should continue longer. Mine is only one but the pure breed ducks should all continue (albeit slower) until six or seven, I believe. What breed of chickens have you got that stopped altogether at three? I'm guessing they were hybrids of some sort? I'm hoping my hens continue for a good deal longer than that.
