If you hadn't pulled the breech birthed kitten out then the kitten, and the 3rd kitten coming after it might have both suffocated which obviously means bad complications for the mother too.. It's just like with humans, breech births are generally bad bc the baby can get the cord wrapped around it's neck and or suffocate before they are able to get out. As long as you pulled the kitten out very gently and didn't hurt the mother there's nothing wrong with that because you gave the kitten enough time to come out on it's own and didn't assist until you felt it was reasonable. Breech births aren't the prefered or intended way animals are supposed to give birth, and although rare, they do happen, and it's not so uncommon that a breeder wouldn't experience it occassionally.I would say that the kittens are too young to be handled right now or you'll make the mother very uncomfortable and stressed, but when they are older there is a very easy way to tell the gender apart. If you pick up one of the kittens and turn it on it's back ( mind you try to support it so it doesn't panic) you will be able to see it's genitalia. In a male kitten they will be further apart, and for female kittens next to each other. There's a link below with pics for you if that's not enough.
