You can pick them up. But I would just leave them alone.
Do not pick any of them up or bother to try to pet/touch them. Chances are, the mother will get angry and fight.
Technically, no. They must first be weaned which takes about 6 weeks to do. Once they are weaned, you can take them away from their mother but you will need to put it on a newborn kitten milk formula, which you can get from your local pet store. You can also find out more at a pet store and they will show you what to do. The first answer on here is sort of wrong. You can touch the kittens, the mother won't reject them if you do. But I would advise that you should not touch or hold the kittens until the mother has kind of wound down with them.

∙ 13y agoIf you do find it's mother you may put it back. If it is about younger than 7 weeks, you should put it with it's mother. You should take it to your local veterinarian and check. Ask how old it is and get a check up. If you choose to keep this animal, and it is older than 7 weeks you should understand that it does not need it's mother anymore most likely. You should try wet and dry food and milk. So, if it is older than 7 weeks you can probably take it.

∙ 12y agoWell if you know that the kitten is too young to be taken away from its mother, then why would you do it? To answer the question, yes. Kittens should not leave their mother until 12 weeks old, so if your kitten is younger than this, you can (and should!) take it back for a few weeks. A good breeder shouldn't have a problem with this, and it will not cause harm to the kitten or the mother. Just keep the kitten with its mom until you are sure that it is ready.

What are the do's and don't of finding newborn kittens?
When finding newborn kittens, the primary goal should be to ensure their safety and survival. Ideally, newborn kittens are raised by their mother, who can provide the proper protection and nourishment they need. Therefore, the first step should be to see whether the mother is present and able to care for the kittens, rather than immediately interfering. If a capable mother is available, then little else is needed except perhaps a watchful eye in case anything goes wrong. If a mother cannot be found, then it is safe to take the kittens to a vet, a shelter, or to your own home. If the choice is to personally adopt them, it is critical that proper bottle-feeding and weening techniques are followed.
