Need advice for some feral kittens

Today I brought home four feral kittens that were at the humane society. I"ve been a foster home since 2007 but have only had a few true "feral" cats/kittens. I know these were outdoors with a mother. They are about 7-8 weeks old. (harder to tell as they are very fluffy) An older gentleman had been feeding alot of cats (he lives in the countryside) Family put him in a home and sold the house. The cats went from being fed to nothing

The majority migrated to the farm down road and now they have like 20 new cats to feed when they just finished spay/neutering the ones they had. These kittens were brought in hoping that they were young enough to be tamed and homed. THey are beautiful kittens but WILD.

I've had luck separating a litter so they bond with humans instead of littermates. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear any tricks of the trade. I have feliaway. I have been using ovenmitts to hold them to get some scratches and pets in. One in particular is super aggressive so I've separated him for now. I will be reading other threads but thought I'd post.

Here is a really great video that helps with the socialization of feral kittens.  The video starts with the rescue of the kittens, but continues with socialization and many great tips.

Thank you for rescuing these sweet ones.

Wonderful video! Thank you

I spoke to a friend of mine today who fosters kittens for a feral colony. She said to buy a cat toy that "dances". I haven't

had a chance to go find one but when I used the fishing pole toy, it was amazing to watch their body language. You could see

them relax, they would yawn, stretch and watch as I made it dance. Two couldn't help themselves and almost immediately began to swat

at it. The third eventually joined in. They would hiss if I moved but I ran the toy close to me and over my lap and one followed. Others

stopped to sniff my toes. As soon as I stood, they hissed and scattered but it looks like things will def be improving.

I made a homemade pet petter that I used as both a toy and a way to to touch the feral cats I have worked with.  I also have just used the end of a wand toy and gently allow it to touch them.  This gets them used to touch.

I made my pet petter by taking a sturdy old wand toy.  I wrapped a sock around the end and secured it with duct tape.  I then added a bit of soft flannel.  If needed you could even add a bit of catnip to it.  Here is a picture of the one I made.
