It is very important that you introduce the kittens to the home and the other cats slowly so that they can get used to new smells etc. Please see my page on introducing cats to each other under the traing section.
keep the kittens in a seaprate room with some food, they will eat when they are hungry.

Also the kittens will need to be nuetered in a month or so and this will also help them to settle in better.

Don't worry i'm sure once they have settled down they will start to eat.
