Cocks are bigger than hens and more vocal. They bow and coo. Hens dont bow and coo more softly. Both sexes make laughing noises. Hens can be kept in groups but you cannot keep males together. They will attack each other violently, rip the feathers from each other's faces and scalp the hens trying to mate if they outnumber them. Best kept in male/female pairs where they cant even see other pairs. They are NOT like pigeons which flock.

Hi I am having that issue now with the males in my dove flock....the males beat the heck out of each other, luckily they have just mated with the females and not injured or scalped them

They should NEVER be kept in flocks. They are not the same as the social pigeons or rock doves.

Keep them in pairs. Can be 2 males, 2 females or a male a female.

Those cages look poor quality, and some way to small for your doves!

Only way to 100 percent sex them is when you see the males coo coo coo cco coo coo coo constantly and doing the inflated chest and bowing over and over again.

The point is not that they physically fit it's that they should not be housed in groups.
