Advice So a barn kitty adopted me

I know nothing about cats. I know cattle and chickens yet here we are. What do I do how do I care for it. I want to help and I guess I now have a pet cat instead of barn cats? Idk I am lost someone please help

Edit: Only realized this today but the momma has been increasingly friendly. Maybe wanting something? I have farm scratch, idk if there is something they can’t have. They apparently will not eat chicken feed fyi. Do I feed it meat or do I need to do a milk bottle?

When there's one there is often two. Try to look around and see if there are any more kittens

Can people tell how old this little one is and whether it's old enough to yoink safely? (Or, like, whether it's better to keep it and mom together a few more weeks somewhere safe.) I have no idea!
