Sex of pigeon

Question
How can I determine the sex of racing pigeon other than DNA.

Answer
Hello Vertille.  Thank you for your post.
Watch your bird.  If it starts rubbing it's rear end on perches, or other things, then it is probably a male. Other than that would just be the obvious, if it lays eggs, then it is a female.
There are only two ways to tell for sure, though, and one of them is DNA Testing.

Good luck and God Bless.
