    its too much feeding i'd leave the nuts out until they have the lambs then give them some nuts and because you said there very big hoggets so the grass should be fine for them

    in my opinion that's too much feeding for hogget pre-lambing, it would be ok if you had them scanned and you knew were twins but singles with good grass is more than enough at this time of the year...maybe the still borns are due to something else but i cut down the feeding to start with...
