Momma finch has been sitting on the eggs for about 2 weeks. I found her dead in the bottom of the cage, will the daddy finch continue to sit on them and be able to care for them if any of the 4 eggs hatch?

Yes, that is what is supposed to happen. I say "supposed" to because nature is tricky. The dad may decide not to do this. However, hypothetically he should.
This just happened to me as well... Will putting another female in help or hinder the situation? I would really like to see these eggs hatch.
It would hinder the situation. The male would get distracted by the new female and forget the eggs.
My momma finch died after hatching 3 eggs. The male finch did not take care of it the next day, I found all babies dead. Do I place a female finch for him? Will he mate with her?
