bottom 2 look washed out hypo but could do with bigger pictures

Bottom one might turn out to be a super hypo. Middle one is a hypo. Top one is either a nice normal or a hypo.

Super hypo has two copies of hypo, so they have to pass one to the babies. I would expect ALL babies from a super hypo to be hypos.

A Mack snow on the other hand only has one copy of Mack snow and will only pass it on half of the time.

Yes, and if you flip a coin a hundred times, you'd expect an average of 50 times you get tails. But just because you expect half of the babies to be Macks and half not Macks doesn't mean that every single year's clutches will work out that way. Some years you might get few or no Macks; other years you'll luck out and get loads.

Did you only get three babies? That's not enough of a statistical sample to be worried about your Mack Snow yet - it could just be you got "heads" three times in a row on the flip.

No - because a Mack snow is a codominant "visual het" - they only carry one copy of the gene to begin with, and if they have it, they show it.

The normals hatched from a mack snow cross are just exactly that - normals.
