Mooch went into heat around 4 months! Just 2 days before her spay appt too!
It can be as young as 4 months in rare cases but by 6 months they are usually starting their heat cycles. This is why we recommend spaying and neutering asap, possibly as young as 2 lbs if the vet will do it.
If you have males who are unneutered, they should be kept away from unspayed females 4 months and older for a month after they are neutered. Even if they are siblings.

Kittens can go into heat as early as 4 months of age....however cats are induced ovulators which means that they do not need to be in heat to become pregnant. I would recommend that you discuss with your vet when to get these kittens fixed.
