    male.female.unknown sex

    1.1 would mean 1 male and 1 female
    2.1 would mean 2 males and 1 female
    2.5.1 would mean 2 males, 5 females and 1 of unknown sex

    It stands for male.female.unknown sex; the numbers say how many you have. For instance, if you had 2 males, 3 females and 5 that you didn't know if they were male or female, you would write "2.3.5".

    Don't worry, I had no idea what they were either. xD

    Het refers to carrying a gene for a recesive morph such as Pied, Albino, ETC
    Het's carry one of the 2 genes needed to make that visual morph
