The air cells look like they're on the small side, but it should be ok.
They look like healthy babies! Good luck on your hatch!

Thank you I put a little more water in than usual to help the air cells grow better before hatch day

To help the air cells get bigger you would actually need to remove the water. That then causes humidity in the egg to evaporate out through the pores which makes the air cell bigger.
