Sounds like good news, all around. 
With slight pink lids, drenching injectable ivomec right now was a good idea.
If you wanted, to kinda 'kick start' them along, you might see if you can find a tack & saddle store nearby that carries a product called "Red Cell." Mostly it comes in gallons, but it can be found in quarts too. Most of the online supply houses carry it in quarts, actually, and it's not terribly expensive. Jeffers livestock has quarts for $6.19, for instance.
Not only is it good for anemia, but it also contains lots of good vitamins and minerals. It's for horses, but horses and goats seem to actually have similar mineral requirements...both need copper, both need selenium, etc. The most common dosage I've seen on Red Cell for adults is 15ml/head, 1x/day for a week straight. I figure that maybe works out to be about 1ml/10lbs or so...
Just something to consider, especially if your new goats' loose mineral situation was sketchy... A weeks worth might go a long way toward getting them back on track. I used it with pretty good results in a few of mine not so long ago.
Also...I see you're in Florida. Certain areas of Florida (most, I think, but ask around) are selenium deficient.. There's a product called Bo-Se that's Selenium and Vit. E. that may be beneficial to you. We Bo-Se at least once a year here, and newborn kids seem to benefit from about 1/2ml at birth.. There are also Selenium and Vit. E. gels, available over the counter, that can be given orally.. If you're in a selenium deficient area and these kids' mama(s) weren't given supplemental Selenium about a month before kidding, they could probably stand some.
Sorry...I know that's a lot, but I'm just trying to think of everything that might help right now.
