Help with newborn goats

If the dam is completely ignoring them you will need to bottle feed.
It's not difficult. You will need to milk the dam and feed it to the kids.
Check the mouth of the kids before you feed- warm is good. If cold, don't feed and take the kid's temp. Don't feed the kid if the temp is under 100*F.

Thank you so much going back out now to care for them

Thank you I cleaned them and there up trying to walk. So I should make them drink from her?

As long as their mouth is warm, yes.

Milk a few streams out of the the dam to make sure the colostrum is flowing properly. Sometimes they can have "plugs" that the kids can get out.
