Feed ewe lambs?

Empty ewe lambs, normally feed them silage and away they go... They have lost bit of condition this year... Would they benefit from some meal or be a waste of time and money and be better keep them at silage until grass comes??

We have been feeding nuts to the ewe lambs(all dry) for at least a month now, we do every year once grass gets scarce

I have a bunch on an out farm, still a good soul of grass for them. Give them two energy lick buckets a forth night ago, and so far they haven't touched them.

Ewe lambs here(all bar 3 in lamb) are on hay/silage only at the moment with no grass.
Usually pull out dry ones before start meal feeding as if they are anyways right then they should grow enough by the summer.
