I start separating kids from their dams at night at 1 week old But that's just me. I've bottle fed kids and at 24hrs old I let them go overnight without milk and have never had a problem(not saying that should be done though)

I think at that age they should be fine. Since there is more than one, they should be able to snuggle together. Make sure you have then in a draft-free area and give them loads of straw(or bedding) to sleep on and keep them warm. I put mine in a extra large wire crate with a good amount of straw and then I let the doe back in and she will snuggle up against the crate and give them some extra warmth as well. If you are really worried about them, you can make them coats.
