Found kitten. What do I do?

If you're uncomfortable with the bottle, try a syringe like the ones used for small kids, that's my preferred method because they're tiny little teeth always seem to chew off the nipple fairly easy, otherwise you've already got some pretty good advice

Can anyone tell me how often a kitten this age is supposed to poo? She hasn't gone yet. I've had her for about 4-5 hours. She was interested in the food/formula and water, but I wanted to give her some space so I'm not sure if shes eaten it on her own yet.

Gross as it is, kittens this age still need stimulation to go. Take a damp warm cloth and wipe her bottom for a couple of minutes, this should stimulate her bowels.
 
Hello all! Today has been eventful, when I was walking back up to the house from playing with the chickens I stumbled upon this kitten. Well a litter of kittens, but the others ran. This one walked up to me (slowly and suspiciously), let me pick her up, laid right in my arms. She was shivering, it's been very cold today. Her nose was runny, but other than that she looks very healthy. I think she's about 3 weeks old, walks but is wobbly, she has tiny tiny teeth. There's a lot of wild cats around my area. So right now she's in a box with a towel and heat lamp I used in my brooder. She's all curled up under the lamp, so cute! She's very relaxed and playful.

ANYWAYS.... What do I do for her? I got some formula and a bottle, she didn't eat right away but I wasn't expecting her to. I'm just looking for tips because I've never raised a kitten. Other animals, but not a kitten. Thanks for any advise and take a moment to admire her beauty
