So I have stray that we have been feeding for almost a year now. I was planning on getting her fixed but she was still very scared and wouldn't let anybody near her til recently. She just got to where we can pet her and she popped up pregnant. She showed up here as a feral kitten so I know she isn't that old. Old enough to have kittens but still to little to be a mama. 
she is still very tiny herself. She ended up having 5 kittens under my house a couple days ago. We finally found them yesterday and only 2 of them were alive. The other 3 looked to been dead for a while (im thinking died at birth) these newborn kittens looked like 2-3 week old kittens in size. They were huge and I'm not an expert by no means but ive had cats thats had kittens and these kittens were bigger than any newborn kitten I've ever seen. I'm thinking maybe thats why they died? She could have possibly had a ruff labor with them? Out of the 2 that lived 1 is the runt (about the size of a normal newborn kitten) and 1 of the bigger ones which is almost twice the size of the "runt". Mama and babies seem to be doing ok. We got them inside and she seems to be comfortable. A little protective but comfortable. She loves attention and constantly purrs when we are in there. We haven't messed with the babies other than moving them in from outdoors just to not get them covered in our scent. We only pet mama for now. She feeds them and they look clean but I haven't seen her cleaning them but she's also only been inside since last night. With her being so young I just worry. As long as she is nursing them and they look clean and not crying they should be ok shouldn't they? She is more than likely doing everything she needs to do as far as stimulating them to go potty?
