Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the kittens aren't straining to defecate, are eating and not vomiting the poop will come. I would get them on a different brand of kitten food after you see a normal stool from each. Cats can stay on just a chicken diet since it is deficient in the specific nutrients cats need. I recommend Hill's science diet kitten food or Purina kitten food. You can also add a probiotic to their food, I like Purina Fortiflora which can be found online. I hope this helps and good luck!
