A 4 week old kitten should not be away from its mother and is not weaned
yet. These kittens need to either be back with their mother (and her
accepting them back is iffy, but worth trying) or brought in and cared
for. Either way, you will need to do something quickly. They will need
to be fed kitten replacement formula and when they are 5 weeks you can
start the weaning process and slowly introduce canned kitten food into
their diet. They are not nearly old enough to be adopted and should not
be homed until they are at least 10 weeks. If you have to bring them in
and care for them, you should try to find a home for them together when
that time comes.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
