Silo kittens, part 3

Mama cat, litter #3.  
Sired by the local Vagrant, a black and gray tabby male who ONLY is seen in daylight when the females are....um...."receptive".  Last year he tried to take shelter in our barn during the winter and our own neutered males eventually drove him out.

Looks like another calico kitten in the litter, maybe a very dark tan and black (tortoiseshell?), an orange and white, and a buff/peach colored one that is probably tabby underneath the pastel coloring.  
She usually has 3 or 4.  Maybe there are more this time, but we will wait to check.  In spring, it was disappointing that Mama took all of her babies and hid them in the barn ceiling for 2 weeks, after a collapse of scaffolding inside the silo endangered their safety...so we haven't moved her silo shelter to look closely this time.
Doesn't she look content?  
But I think three litters is enough for this one young cat...
