We got our baby bantam cochins from someone 1/2 hours ride away. It was like zero when we picked them up. I had the car all warmed up and we wrapped the carrier in a heavy afghan. They slept a lot the first day we got them home (3 days old) and it scared heck out of us. That is sort of normal as the ordeal of hatching takes a lot out of them.
Same for you, your younguns there hopefully will recover from the travel. As others stated, give them a little dip of the beak in the sugar water. You got the heat lamp setup ?? You should see some improvement during the latter part of the day.
All of us will continue to pray for them, you know after what you posted here we all feel and worry for them like they're ours.

ps: when they're real young they sleep like they're dead. Before we got ours we saw threads here talking about that. Even so, when ours looked like that we were calling the
lady we got ours from every couple hours. We had one little runt, we were sure we were gonna lose it, but it turned out fine, in fact it's the most precious rooster...
