The most likely cause of the ear damage to the adult cat seen in this photo, is another CAT! They get bitten on the ears very frequently. Old Toms often have ear scars. Being a farm environment, suggests to me at least several cats. In fact another adult crosses the frame of the video at one point.
I would guess the kitten playing with bird's feathers is a little male--ginger cats often are.. The black/white kitten seems timid in general, and may be female...or a runt (very strange tail it had)...and at the end of some cat hierarchy. Those are just my impressions.
