Have you been helping mama cat wean them off of breast milk by giving them wet food (mixed with water into a thin gruel) to eat as well?
Is the mother cat leaving them alone for longer periods of time, and only feeding them reluctantly?
Do they get out into the room and play like a Kamikaze troupe of clowns?
If yes to all of the above, then they are ready to be adopted out now. I always found it best to send each kitten to it's new home with a litter box and a carton of food, just so I would know that the start of their new life with their new families would be good. Think of it as a dowry.
And you should really think of getting mama cat fixed before she gets pregnant again. Kittens are very cute yes, but there are so many unwanted cats already in this world. All responsible pet owners need to choose to not add to the uncontrollable breeding of unwanted pets.

At about six weeks, when they are able to eat kitten dry food softened in a bit of water, and are litter trained.

Like other people said about 8 weeks old. Once they are weaned away from their mom. I am glad she is being a good mom to them and hope you can find good homes for them.
Good luck!

Eight weeks after they have had their first shot. But when you take them to the vet, take the Momma to get fixed. There are lots of unwanted cats (and dogs) out there.

As someone else mentioned, 2 months, or 8 weeks is ideal.

when they reach 2 months old.
they have to stay with the mother till they reach that time.
try giving them dry food when they are 5 weeks old, soak with hot water.
this will get them to be ready to go off.
