Hi there and welcome to tcs!!
It does sound like they will be able to eat, but don't know how, it's likely that mom wasn't a fed feral so she couldn't show them about eating from a dish.
So this will be up to you.
You can start with chicken baby food, mix with water 50/50 and put it in the microwave to warm.
Shallow dish, put them up to it and if they don't start eating it but act hungry, gently push their chins in the food, they will lick it off and soon enough get the idea.
Once they do, feed them canned pate type food, and unless they are drinking water on their own, mix with water so they stay hydrated.
They should be fine.
If they just won't eat after several attempts, let us know and we will explain what to do using a syringe.
