if the surogates dont start feeding them, give hand rearing a try. have a seringe and formula ready in case the other finches dont start feeding them after 2 days. they still live on the yoke sack the first few days then the parents start feeding them when they start begging with open mouth. i know you havent hand raised before, but this is an excelent oportunity to learn. if, in the end, they dont servive, at least you will have tried to give them a second chance, and you will have gained valuable experiance in case you have to do it again some day. 
if the others arent sitting you can incubate the eggs with a terarium heater or an egg incubater, but its easier to find a terarium heater.
