Determining the sex (gender) of a kitten is easy when you know what to look for.

Lift the kitten's tail. The opening just under the tail is the anus. Below the anus is the genital opening which is round in males and is a vertical slit in females. In kittens of similar size, the distance between the anus and the genital opening is greater in the male than the female."
This may be helpful, too. 😸

My sis is in the process of trapping 6 kittens and spaying the mom. Mom is a stray and so far she’s caught 2 kittens. I’m trying to figure out approx how old they are.

My sis says off the top of her head 6 inches. Hopefully that can help.
It's not so much the actual length as how long it looks compared to the rest of the body. Before 6-7 weeks, kittens have little stubby carrot tails, then later they get longer. So if they look like normal cat tails, not stubby carrot tails, then, yeah, 8-weeks probably.
