which of course means both parents are het amel.
It's hard to tell but I only see normals and amels in the clucth.
The occurance of stripes and motleys in the same clutch is not uncommon...
The parents were basically motley/stripes. Stripe and motley are on the same locus and motley is dominant to stripe.
So if you have motley/stripes they are carrying the stripe and motley genes but show motley. When you breed them together you can get motleys and stripes.
This is over simplifying the motley stripe interaction but it gets the general idea accross.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert or geneticist so just take my answer as an aid to point you in the right direction.
