Oh they are so cute! Thanks for rescuing them.

Perhaps they poo only after eating, and not after every meal? I did volunteer in a shelter but though I saw other people taking care of very small kittens I never did it myself, so I don't know enough to answer you. I am sure many other members will do it better.

If they are well fed, it's possible someone just dropped them in the street and kept the mother!

Could you cross-post in Cat rescue, or even in Cat general, for better visibility of your thread?

I always thought the "action" of mama cat preening the new born kittens helped with the the poo movement along.

How do I preen a kitten?

You can take a piece of cotton and give them a gentle massage on the lower abdomen after the eat (not sure I translate well in English, sorry if it's not clear). Then you clean when they have peed or pooed.
