Pigeons are very difficult to gender identify by visual cues. So difficult that same sex pairings are not unusual. There are certain behavioral traits that can help identify sex such as courting behavior. Males generally tend to be somewhat larger and more masculine looking, but this is not always true.

Males will often coo, strut and be bolder than hens. But that's not a 100% accurate way. If it lays an egg,it's often a hen...

For the young ones, you typically cant sex them until they are 4-5 months old.

I want to know how do I sex them

Mistakes can be made no matter which method you choose to sex your pigeons.
If it lays an egg it is definitely female.
I find the best way to sex a bird it to ask another pigeon.
