Do these air cells look big? Are they duds?

Say 22, no sound or movement I could see. Two days ago one was rolling/shaking but haven't seen any movement today from any eggs.
First time trying to incubate in a homemade incubator, still learning. Thanks!

Usually, if there is no movement by day 22, I put a safety hole in the air cell and then candle it. It helps let the light in and makes it easier to see.

So I did that on one of the darker ones so I could see and still don't see movement or an internal pip. I'll give it until end of day 23 but I don't think any will be hatching .
Thanks for your advice!

2of the eggs look full and air cells look good
Middle one it’s very hard to tell but looks like a lot of empty space
I myself don’t make safety holes unless I see a beak in the air cell for longer then 24 hours or see a bruise outside the air cell
Some little ones take longer to hatch
Cool spots in the bator can cause delays

Good to know. I did a safety hole on one that was too dark to candle and it ended up looking like the blue one as well. But in the middle of the night I heard chirping, still no pips though so we'll give it a few days longer.

Chirps is great news
Fingers crossed

We noticed a pip about 11hrs ago, and since then lots of chirping, all from the same guy I think. He's managed to crack the shell and pop a piece off but the membrane still looks intact, is that normal? How long do I wait before I'm supposed to help?
Since we are now on day 23 if I don't see movement from the others soon should I be candling them or just giving up?

Thanks for everyone's recommendations it's much appreciated for this first-timer!

Just leaves them alone for now. The pip is a good sign. The less you handle them the better off they'll be
