In all honesty, Ive always picked them up the day they were born...mostly to move them to a safe spot. My last barn cat had her kittens in my horses hay bin, so i had to move them, and when i did they were fine. and i handled them a bit every few days just to check on them... I've NEVER had a problem with a cat rejecting her kittens, but yes, it can and does happen....
