60 is high enough for lockdown.

It might be too late to worry about trying to lower the humidity now.

What would the humidity do if it was too high or too low? It's at 50 right now

Too high will cause them to not lose enough moisture and kill them one way or another.

Well I'd rather not kill the little buddy. So should I keep the humidity between 40-50 now, until day 26?

Yes 45 ish sounds great.

Humidity needs to stay constant...changing it this late may not make a difference.

Boo, I wish I knew this all before I even tried hatching. :/

Is there still chance that the duckling will hatch even if I messed up the humidity?

Yes.

I wouldn't worry as much about humidity now as I would about temperature. If you've been running without a fan at 95-99, that's not high enough. Still-air incubators need to run a little warmer than forced-air ones with a fan do. Still-air needs to be 100-102 (taken at the top of the egg).

Since you have a few days left (plus I think you will go a few days past 28, since the temp has been low) I would try to GENTLY bump up the temp. Just a little at a time.... those incubators are picky! So do a tiny adjustment, wait at least an hour before you bump it up any further. Try to get it up to at least 100-101.
But remember, too cool is better than too hot. So don't go too high.
