Socializing feral kittens

So I got 5 (arabian mau) kittens from a friend who rescued them from the street.

Its their first day with me and most of them got used to me petting them and stuff =).

However there is this one kitten who hisses and is scared of humans. Can someone give me tips on making them friendly ? Also some tips that help in getting them adopted?

Also

I got a kitten from before who doesn't like them. Is there anything that I can do to help her and them get along and be friends?

Thank you =)!

Spend as much time with them as possible.  After a bit, the hissy one will warm up, especially if she sees her brothers and sisters being petted and being friendly.  Food is a good motivator, too, so make sure they get plenty of good kitten food.  When you reach out to her, make sure you are not hovering above her - that's what a predator would do and it will scare her.

Also, when you reach out to her, don't use your open hand - that, too, looks like a predator.  Make a fist - it will look like another cat wanting a head-bump.  She may approach, she may not.  Either way, she needs time.  Let her adjust on her own schedule.

I would not allow your other cat to interact with them until they have been vet-checked, just to be safe.

Once they get the all-clear, start slow introductions.  Your current cat is probably a little upset that all these new ones are moving in on his territory.  It will take him awhile to adjust to new siblings.
