First timer: need help with air cells

[Anabariful]

Frst time incubating and need help determining if the air cells are just right or too small. They are silkie bantam eggs and I am doing a "dry incubation" as I have heard those get great results! Humidity is around 20-40% naturally in my home and today is day 7!

Let me know what you think?! Air cells are outlined in pencil.

Using Brinsea mini advance and hand turning 3-4 times a day. Temp is 99.5/99.6 ..

Oh myyyyy! I thought the air cell was supposed to go on top/pointy end down? Definitely can tell I'm a first timer ahaha

you just want to put your flashlight where the air cell is. You can see a lot better that way

Now for my Silver Appleyard duck eggs! They are 7 days old here... I'm adding a tiny bit of water for 45-60% humidity. They are kept at 99.5/99.6 and hand turned 3-4 times as well. Unfortunately due to shipping, many have saddlebag air cells. I see lots of growth and heartbeats though so I'm hoping for a 100% hatch but only expecting 50% or less.
