A second Falcon Fact Sheet has been prepared on eggs and incubation. It provides a lot of detailed information.
The bottom line is the eggs will hatch if the female keeps up her incubation duties and the eggs don't become inundated by rainfall.
All going well the eggs are due to hatch by about 28th September, 2022.

Eggs should hatch next week.
ALL 4 eggs likely the first male.
Stud - male 2 - wants his own eggs. Frequents matings.
Anything may happen.

Here is the Q&A Sept 22

Sep 7, 2022 may have been one of the last times her mate was seen.

Stud is so crazy to mate so often he must expect an egg for him. He will probably supply her with food but not brood chicks.

WHAT NEXT?
This year’s nesting season has been even more dramatic than usual, with a second, younger male successfully ousting the first male (and father of the egg clutch) from the site. The new male is now trying to breed with the female, even while she incubates her current clutch of eggs.
We’re about 8 days off hatch and also finding whether she will lay any more eggs.
And what of the original, banished male? He’s gone — either dead or what we call a ‘floater’, a nonbreeding male.

HATCH WATCH
Sept 24, 2022
Stud has no brood patch to incubate.
He does bring prey to her.
The male whining like that seems odd.
She seems to have trained Stud to WATCH - for 2 or 3 minutes - but anything's a help.
With hatch days away, BOTH can probably hear the sounds of the chicks inside.

PIP?
Sept 25, 2022
17:23 I might see pips in 2 eggs - or it could be reflections
Cam too far away
Stud looked at the eggs - he can probably hear the chicks
Some posting in facebook believe both her mate and Stud are around.
I doubt both males would remain here.
