Okay, here's something I noticed about the SkyClan books, and it still bothers me. Cherrytail is already expecting Sharpclaw's kits at the beginning of After the Flood, and Sol is exiled at the end of it. The manga of course takes place before Eclipse.
If Hawkwing, Cloudmist, Blossomheart, and Duskpaw are their only litter, then they should've already been warriors long before Ravenpaw's Farewell. So, either something happened to Cherrytail's first litter, Mistfeather is her son and the books just never mentioned it, or Hawkwing and his littermates had to go through a really long kithood/apprenticeship before finally becoming warriors in HJ.
And yes, I know it's just an inconsistency, but I still sometimes like to come up with in-universe reasons for these types of things.

I personally can't see Mistfeather being their son. Maybe they did have a litter that didn't survive, or they vanished with all of the other forgotten SkyClan cats. Either way, I kind of like the idea that Hawkwing and his littermates are their second litter, making Duskpaw's death even sadder. Like on Dust/Fern kits level of sad

Following the timeline they’d have been warriors around the time of Ravenpaw’s Farewell. I don’t think they’re really off by too much

Their litter would be born, say, around the same time as Dove and Ivy or before. So while they should be warriors by RF, there's like a year? gap in between then and HJ. sounds like they would have been apprenticed for another year

Following the timeline they’d have been warriors around the time of Ravenpaw’s Farewell. I don’t think they’re really off by too much Ravenpaw's Farewell takes place towards the end of OOTS, which is about two to three years after Cherrytail's first litter should have been born. SkyClan's Destiny takes place about six months after Firestar's Quest, putting it around the same time as Midnight. Leafstar is pregnant towards the end of the book. SkyClan and the Stranger manga takes place at least two months after the end of SD, as Leafstar gives birth in that manga and cats are pregnant for two months. So we're about mid way through TNP at this point. Leafstar's kits are probably around Birchfall's age. Cherrytail is pregnant at the end, and probably would have given birth around the same time as either Daisy or Sorreltail. Their kits become warriors in the middle of POT. So if Hawkwing from Cherrytail's first litter, he should have been a warrior at least a year or two before he actually was. The start of Hawkwing's Journey takes place about the same time Bramblestar's Storm does.

Yeah, this still bothers me as well. My headcanon is that they had another litter who died.
