You can give them milk powder ASAP. They won't have had any colostrum from the ewe if her udder is wrong and if they were born yesterday morning and didn't get artificial colostrum until last night they may not survive.

She was right one side, other side was hard as nails! So they had a little bit and luckily had 2 other ewes lamb so stuck them under them to have a belly full, there alert sharp and streching when standing (always a good sign) but topped them with powder colostrum to be sure, so milk powder now on?

Yes milk powder from now on. The ewe should rear one? Try them on the bottle and take the two that suckle best off the ewe. Keep an eye on the other lamb, it may or may not get enough milk from the ewe.
