Again, handfeeding here is complicated

Do you normally feed chicks when parents are around or far away? I decided to get one chick at a time for feeding, leaving nestbox and the rest of them at place so that parents could feed chicks who are in the box if they come to feed (and our parents do come often, maybe to just check). I know it sounds weird but normally I remove the whole box from the cage for measuring them and cleaning. our box isn't mounted, its standing on the cage floor. But all big birds are making such a big deal out of it, if they see I do something with one chick on the table. I mean they don't attack or anything, but they watch me with caution. When the chick sees or hears the parents, she stops eating from me. Last time I was taking chicks downstairs to feed but its pretty cold there so I will try to avoid it.
I fed two today. That's it for now. I don't measure milliliters, its impossible, most is spelt on the table. Another reason is that I want parents to go and feed them before night, instead of being alarmed of me messing up with the chick.
Of course, its much easier to feed them when they are not flying yet.
If I have some formula in the cup, that is cooled down under 100F (say, after feeding of one chick), is it OK to add new formula to it plus hot water and make more amount? I made formula twice today for two chicks in two different cups. But if I do it for 5 chicks.... its going to be crazy.
How do people feed more efficiently? Make a big cup for all of them or several small cups? Have them lined up or take them separately? Have parents close by or far away?
