She has been sitting on the egg a lot looking sleepy. Should I go today? Or wait and see tomorrow.

She's very focused on being a mom today.. I feel like I should let her sit today and see how she is tomorrow. Or? Would appreciate some advice..

I think the leg has gotten a bit better but not totally sure yet.. she sits on the egg resting/sleeping, making cute little hormonal noises and adjusting herself often. But the problem is, there is egg food in that bowl.. not sure how long I can leave it there for (purchased, not home-made). It looks like her feathers on her chest are a bit wet (and I could see her chest and tummy skin when she was preening), most likely from the egg food.

Aha so that is the brood patch..

I gave her a nest and put 2 eggs there (both from 2 weeks ago, monday and wednesday) that week and she didn't lay since then so I removed it from the cage in case it would stimulate her, but I didn't throw the eggs away and I also bought replacement ones but today she laid again.. so I put it back and she has 3 eggs there at the moment. Please do you have any advice? She started preening the male a lot again and she is very horny judging from the weird sounds and tail shaking she does but they do not mate due to his disability. They were so good together (by that I mean no eggs) from november until this damn spring came. Should I separate them as a last resort?.. Please someone.
