Congratulations, Felis.
I have searched the archive. Based on the behaviour of the female, it was hatching between 04:00 and 04:30 and the first movement of the chick I saw was at 04:47.

The first egg was laid on April 22 (time not known). That makes 40 days of breeding.
Unknown when the second egg was laid. Probably April 25.

Congratulations

Maybe I'm watching here now, because the Owlets flew out last night
