Matt Ive left chicks in longer than 24 hours and never had a problem. rememeber people ship chicks all the time and they are just fine for 2+ days without anything but the yolk they absorbed while hatching out Wait until tonight if others have hatched out then you can move him out-quickly so as not to lose humidity and such
