Sara having hard time feeding 6 4-week kittens. Do I help and how?

I have 3 indoor cats and cannot bring in the stray I've been feeding for 9 months. She had kittens 4 weeks ago. They are in my carport- made them a pen big enough it would go around by car. So they have a safe place, but Sara is having a hard time feeding them, they now have teeth and go wild trying to feed. There are 6 babies. She has been getting one out feeding and sleeping with it. 5 looks so much alike at this point that I don't know if it's the same one. She got in the pen and tried to feed, it hurt her and she got out. She is now trying again. At how many weeks does she ween them? Should I purchase milk replacement and try to feed them and would they need a bottle? When do I start feeding which type food. I'm at a loss with nursing kittens!
Thank You
Jana
