Well it looks like one Normal, one Hypo, and four Amels to me. So I would say your Normal breeder was het for Amel and Hypo. I'd have to see the bellies to know if there are any Motley, but I think one of the Amel hatchlings looks it. (top right - coiled)
 
Is that all of them?
If that's your whole clutch, then next year you should have a better idea, as it will surely throw more than that.
As Arcane said, the normal must also be het for hypo in order for you to get one.
The motley gene appears to have made a mark as well, plus something's going on with that super-light amel.
After they shed, let's see another shot!

It looks like the cross was:

Amel het anery, hypo, lavender and het for motley OR stripe
X
Normal motley het amel and hypo

Note that if the amel is not a motley, it is not het for both motley and stripe... it is het for one or the other, but not both. Also, the appearance of motley offspring doesn't indicate whether it's het for motley or stripe.
