Get a paper towel damp with warm water and rub their bottom until they poop.

this link will give you basic info
https://kittenrescue.org/2017/03/raising-orphaned-kittens

This link has week by week, giving you developmental stages and things of which you should be aware.
https://www.alleycat.org/resources/how-old-is-that-kitten-guide/
As each kitten is unique, guidelines will vary slightly (such as weaning age) per individual but are fairly spot on.
here is the link for age week 4

I fostered four last year and loved every minute of it. One was a foster fail and is still with us.

I like how you posted it on Twitter, because there I enlarge the picture, see more detail. Like the kitten's eyes looking out from the "Cow basket?" Your framing and shooting down on them gives a really nice angle to see them all.

Bless your heart for being their foster mom.

This is our first time fostering. They’re all so sweet. I couldn’t let them go to a shelter.
