Drop it to 97. That will be fine.

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Ok! But could my incubator possibly be cooler already? Cause all my eggs have hatched late

Actually, that is quite possible. Sounds like you are running at least a bit low anyway.

When should I pip the duck egg? How long should I give it after the hatch date this time? I want to get this right. is it ok to candle it around this time to make sure it's ok?

And what are the chances that my duck will hatch at all?

Since you think temp is low I would leave it alone. It needs to be around 98F at hatch or baby will overheat & die. I would let duckie go to at least day 30 before pipping it unless you hear peeping for 8 hours or more & no external pip. If you have candled & saw movement then I would say duckie has a good chance at this point.

Ok thank you! I will leave my duck alone and keep the temp and humidity at what it is now. I did see movement on day 25 so I think he's still alive. Ill post the results if it hatches
