All sounds normal for now. You can feed mom in her nest for now.
Do you have a small scale so you can weigh the kittens daily? You're going to have a runt or two.
Can you keep mom inside and 100% inside until the kittens have weaned?

Yes, feed mom in the nest for now.
She cannot go outside at all now. She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery, without even being in heat. Please be careful about this.
How much do your kittens weigh?

She's not hungry because she ate 6 placentas. She'll eat her cat food when she's hungry again.
How much do they weigh? You perhaps has their weigh at birth? If not, start measuring NOW. Once a day, in similiar circumstances, or if there is a crisis every 12 hours.
A minimum gain every day is 6 grammes ( slightly more than 1/6 OZ), but most healthy kittens add 10+ grammes every day (its 1/3+ of OZ). Seeing the growing weight, is the easiest way to notice if they are OK or if sometimes is amiss.
If you have a choice of scales, take one electronical measuring in grammes, its easiest to see.
And while you weigh them, you see and touch them, a quick look see, and this helps too to decide their health condition.

It's good that the kittens will stay warm on your heating pad. Is the box they are in large enough so they can get off the heating pad if they get too warm? Good luck with your precious kittens and cat. It's so important to keep your cat in so she doesn't get pregnant again real soon which would be hard on her.
Also the canned food or whatever you are feeding mom is kitten food right? I will stress again the importance of NOT letting her outside again until she is spayed. She can and will get pregnant again. No need for that to happen again.
