I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it sounds like some of them are starting to eat solid food and others are not. They are definitely old enough to be eating solid food, but it may take some longer than others. Below is a link to an article that has good information on how to best feed a small kitten. https://www.purina.com.au/kittens/feeding/weaning I hope that helps and all is well with the kittens.
