Don't give up on them. They still have plenty of weight and eventually they will eat something that you offer in tight secluded quarters if they aren't disturbed and feel hidden. They can go a very long time on their initial yolk reserves. If they were only hatched within a couple weeks they have barely even became hungry yet. Just keep offering different things every several days and they should eventually start to feed. Offer to the problem ones first so if they still refuse you can then give it to the others that will take them so the food doesn't go to waste.

good luck!
