What sex are the squabs

I used to have colors and color mating down, but apparently I've come down with "the dumb" and cannot now seem to keep in my head at all..
Anyone know we're I could get color/color mating chart?

I like family lines where sexes easy tell once months old.
I find pelvic spacing doesn't work too good oddly but thickness of cere neck feathers sheen thickness there and in chest head etc thickness in established uniform family lines. If together oddly my hens usually eat first where if all females or all males they fight over, where females left to eat if not herded away to corner. In different family lines together I've seen hens larger than cocks of same breed.
No, I don't.... I have also tried the pelvic bone method and some of my males seem to be almost the same as a hen about to lay.
 
I've got two of roller lines were all larger spacing oddly on cocks pelvises. Some lines and breeds hens larger. Generally cocks necks thicker more shiny soft feathers, larger cere around beak and eyes.

I have heard that pigeons produce one male and one female from the clutch of 2 eggs. Is this correct or is the sex of the two hatchlings a random affair? In a perfect world pigeons usually do produce two eggs that is true. I personally believe that hatching is more a random affair as you have stated. The sex of the squab is determined by the cock bird (some cock birds have a tendency to produce more Y chromasome sperm than others which results in male squabs).
