Next time I will put the temp higher, I have another set that I put in and the temp was about 35 at day 14 would the chick be ok

I have a still air incubator, still air should be a higher temp, 102, or 38.8 C, coming down to a 38 for the last 4 days or so. Even if your incubator was not a still air your temp should be at least 37c.

Before you set anymore eggs I would check you incubators thermostat temp with a thermometer and another source to make sure the incubators accurate.
Then if you only have one incubator that you do the hatch out in. Then set all eggs at once.never add any later.
Also lock down is exactly what the name implies. After 19 days do not open up . Especially if none have hatched. We wait till day 24 to recheck eggs.
And lastly go to the articles and read and re read hatching 101. Then read Sally's article on assisted hatching.
