Holdback normals - are they hypos??

I ended up keeping two corns from an unexpected clutch laid by our striped female we got last fall - no idea what the father was. I have had few people comment that they appear to be hypo and the male especially seems to have grey instead of black on the abdominal checkers. Not something I am good at determining by looking at them - but they do have very limited black edging on saddles and side blotches.

Thought I would post a few photos to get opinions - and because I think the babies are cute (whether they are hypo or not). Will be test breeding the mom to a ghost next year to try and determine whether she is het (or homozygous) for hypo.

This is mom -


The male holdback (looks to me to be possibly hypo)

The female (I am less convinced of this one)




and feeding
