Different size air cells at day 10. What to do?

So the Easter eggers seem to have larger size air cells for the most part. My Delaware and Wyandottes have what seems like smaller air cells. I am dry hatching with a high room humidity.
Bathroom 55%
Govee inside incubator 32-35%
Day 10. I know bigger air cell sizes means that they need a little more humidity to level out to where they should be by hatch time. Smaller air cells are the opposite. I feel like the Easter eggers are maybe too big for day 10?

I just took some pics and realized some of the air cells are kind of sideways up the shell. Maybe that's why it seems that way. Do these look ok for day 10?

For me who does not dry hatch, the 35% is only 5% off what I keep mine as a low (40-50%), so the air cell size should be comparable. Yours look fine to me.

You can't really compare one breed to another though as each could be a smidge off from the other due to the breed size.

I've had air cells be on the side of the egg, and usually those hatch themselves just fine so I don't really pay much attention to the air cells unless they are way off like that. Then I mark them so I can keep an eye on them at lockdown.

Wishing you a great hatch!!
