It does yes but whether or not she'll have viable eggs is another thing. She can lay eggs but he may be shooting blanks given how unresponsive he is, he goes through the motions but that's about it. Wouldn't be the first time that happened. The courtship rituals, including feeding, are important as they stimulate their hormones - he looks more constipated than stimulated quite frankly. Some people say incubation shuts down the 'sperm production'. I'm not a biologist so I can't verify if it's true or not.
She came in kacking just now and looking out at something and he just wouldn't move off the eggs and she just flew off to address whatever it is.

Cadence was in the same place you saw her last night at 5.07 am when I woke up. Dad is home now and both are bowing in nest box at 5.44 am.
5.52 am and the chat and bow session still in progress and looks like dad has been convinced to leave the igloo. Cadence remains in the nest box with the eggs.
6.03 am and dad sneaks back into igloo after Cadence leaves and settles on the eggs. I hope he fed her - if she is going to lay eggs he needs to provide food. I expect that's what she told him earlier..lol

5.40 am and I find Cadence in the nest box standing over the eggs.
6.14 am and she's still in the box doing some housework. She practiced trying to lay on the eggs for quite awhile.
6.18 and she's out and on the railing now.
