Can i leave it in until another is ready to go to brooder with it?

Oh lord, an hour is definitely not enough time for these little guys. The second chick is 5 hours and just starting to look "chickish" and get around better. 24 hours or longer is what i was unsure of, not less. id never be comfortable with less than atleast 6 from watching and studying them from hatch.
They won't act like chicks for a while yet. That's ok. They don't need to be up and moving around to go to the brooder. They'll just sleep for the first day or two, which is totally normal.
Here are some of my hatchlings, 2 hours after hatching. The ducks are 2 days old. I like to rub them gently with a soft toothbrush after they hatch to help them fluff up.
